<<BIOI has a price-to-book ratio of 1.8 - less than the industry average of 3.6>> I've got to say (as a BIOI investor) that this is a somewhat misleading comparison. Most of the biotech industry has very high PB and PS ratios on expectation of future sales. BIOI is a supplier and doesn't really belong in the biotech sector, except that its sales are tied to the sector because the more money that comes into biotech, the more BIOI makes. Even so, a PB of 1.8 is reasonable IF the company has growth prospects. I keep hearing cheerleading about growth, but . . . well, where the hell is it?
