interesting motley fool article on cpu. could put us over 6 next week. some snippets: Balance Sheet Cash: $402.9 million Current Assets: $1,504.7 million Current Liabilities: $1,163.5 million Long-term Debt: $246.6 million Ratios Price-to-earnings: 16.6 Price-to-sales: 0.1 EV-to-sales: 0.07 The Internet presents the largest opportunity and most daunting challenge. To address it, CompUSA is separating its Direct business into a stand-alone company and pumping an additional $2 to $3 million a quarter specifically into the Internet operations. On February 11, it appointed R. Stephen Polley, formerly CEO of Interphase (Nasdaq:INPH - news) , as Chair/CEO of CompUSA Direct. Its Q2 Internet sales grew 100%, and its redesigned website has won accolades for ease of use. CSFB puts the bear case valuation at $5.52 per share, assuming the Direct business is worth $898 million and that the stores are simply closed (with accompanying charges taken). We're not far from there now. fnews.yahoo.com
