FINDING THE BOTTOM...

This is a revision to my post No. 2297 forecasting a bottom of around $13.75. ADPT has moved below it's average P/S ratio of 1.95, and is now at about 1.7. The 1993 low P/S ratio was 1.3. Using a conservative annualized revenue figure, it now appears that we could move down to about $9.08 per share. If a more optimistic revenue figure is used, the bottom is around $11.23. If we can get back to the long term average low P/S ratio of 1.95, the bottom should be about $13.63.

Earnings for Q1 '99 are due out about July 24. My computer shows that First Call is looking for .20 for Q1 EPS. My thinking is that ADPT will miss this number (regretably) due to continued weakness in the Far East and declining revenues.

So, all things considered, I think ADPT will hit $11.00 per share in the next 3 to 6 months.
