<<PRIA's book value is near $14>> you must have made a booboo ... book value is $6.42.

To compute this: shareholders equity is $126 M, shares outstanding is 19.7 M, and dividing the two yields a book value of $6.42 per share.

With a stock price of 16 1/2, that puts the p/b at 2.6

Some other semi equips are trading at significantly lower multiples of book than PRIA. ASYT to name one, at about 1.6. If PRIA slumped to that multiple, it would hit $10, which is the same as the figure cited by Ian for 1 X sales. I certainly hope that doesn't happen, but I think that's the chicken-little scenario.
