Finally, an IPO with solid fundamentals. After a solid first day of trading, NESY is primed to run this week. Here is a quick recap of the fundamentals:

NESY's strongest quarters have admittedly been the 3rd and 4th. So assuming that revenues and net income are the average for the first 3 quarters (a very conservative assumption), full-year 1998 revenues would be 18.4 million with EPS of 0.27. These roughs estimates would yield a trailing P/E of 93 and a trailing P/S ratio of about 9. These ratios look a bit high, but using forward ratios instead of these trailing ratios make the current price reasonable. This company is legit, and the stock should give us some strong aftermarket performance. Regards,
