My comments on Hadco looking forward.

The tone of the call was interesting. The analysts were trying to get some information so that they could estimate a reasonable margin, and get to a reasonable EPS forecast. But the company basically said that they couldn't forecast quantitatively where the margins would go, only that there will be some increase.

Personally, if they hit $240M in the 1st Q, which I think is very do-able, and we see gross margins climb to 15% from 13.4%, and the new tech centers don't continue to trim earnings, then we could see 30-40 cents a share. The consensus is 13 cents.

At the peak of the next cycle, this company could easily earn $3-4 a share. I still have my Hadco shares, and plan to hold for now.
