>>Anyone have any market share data for WRS? I have never seen any but would sure be interested. >>Also, anyone care to comment on why the stock has dropped recently from ~53$ to about 35$? Beats me -- performance could hardly be better. >>Also I could not find '97, '98 estimates from Zacks. Anyone have them? Anyone have any estimates or estimates of 5 year growth? Here are current estimates but there will undoubtedly be revisions in the next couple of days. Quarters ending 1/97 4/97 7/97 --Mean $ 0.20 $ 0.14 $ 0.18 --High $ 0.21 $ 0.17 $ 0.19 --Low $ 0.19 $ 0.11 $ 0.16 Number of 4 4 4 Analysts Fiscal year ends 1/97 Earnings per share estimates --Mean $ 0.61 --High $ 0.62 --Low $ 0.61 Number of analysts 4 Past EPS estimates (Mean) -- Month ago 0.61 --13 Weeks ago 0.61 --26 Weeks ago 0.54 Fiscal year ends 1/98 Earnings per share estimates --Mean $ 0.80 --High $ 0.82 --Low $ 0.78 Number of analysts 4 Past EPS estimates (Mean) -- Month ago 0.80 --13 Weeks ago 0.80 --26 Weeks ago 0.71 Predicted annualized five-year EPS growth rate (%) --Mean 40.0 --High 45.0 --Low 35.0 Past estimates (Mean) --Month ago 40.0 --13 Weeks ago 40.0 --26 Weeks ago 45.0 Number of analysts 2 Analyst's ratings 2/22/97 Month ago Strong buy 2 2 Buy 2 2 Neutral 0 0 Sell 0 0 Strong sell 0 0 Total analysts 4 4 following company >>Does anyone see microsoft attempting to develop a comparable real time OS in the future? My understanding is that MS has some realtime operating systems although I do not know if they are comparable to VxWorks which seems to be the gold standard. Their focus seems to be so strong on trying to push windows into the embedded market I would question whether there is a realtime champion at MS who is strong enough to bring it to commercializaton at this time. IMO Microsoft would have a hard sell getting into any embedded applications where hard realtime with high reliability is required -- they have a lot of history to live down. There is no doubt that MS is one day going to get serious about the embedded market when it gets too large to ignore but and are they going to be too late?
