Jach,
I admire your enthusiasm, however IMO, a PE multiple of 35 might be expecting too much. The company first and foremost has to prove to the street that the earnings rebound is for real. This will take several quarters of back to back growth, then they have to attract a following, meaning analysts. This IMO should be complete by the 4 th quarter. At that time , being conservative or at least on scale with the market, I would assign a PE of 20 to 22. So if the above developes along those lines I would expect the stock to be 3.75 to 4.25. Now if they execute the business plan, earnings could double in 99, so we might could see $6 to $7 by the end of next year. One last note, there again IMO, CAYN could hold take over possibilities. The industry will consolidate, so if CAYN cannot grow accordingly, they become a target and I would expect management to keep this as an option to the shareholders, big and small.
