if you look at some of the takeovers that have been happening in the high tech arena you will see that paying 3 times sales is not excessive...
.lucent just paid 6oo million for some company that had 70 million in sales...
..some folks, including me thought veeco paid too much for wyko[private company] so we sold our holdings....that was the bonehead move of the year ..the stock went from 30 to 80 in 9 months..
...so don't over think these moves by veeco,ed braun has been in this business for 40 years he knows what veeco needs...you will find out that this purchase of digital instruments is a very good one...
....
