Technology Stocks : JDS Uniphase (JDSU) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

What's wrong with these numbers, where a liberal
use of the "-" is indicated?


Greg, what is wrong with the numbers is that they do not exclude the one time charges related to the JDS Fitel/Uniphase merger.

If you factor those charges out, JDSU is earning around $.25 per share, per quarter, after tax.

So the stock isn't cheap, selling at over 100 times forward earnings.

As you already noted, sales are growing very fast. So are operating earnings. Expect more acquisitions to occur. Expect more acquisition related write-offs. It is a Cisco-like situation.

Sales and profits would be growing faster, but management reportedly cannot fill all the orders.

I have a question for you. Are you sincere or just having a bit of fun?

Brian

JDSU is no secret, Mr. Jung. Suggest you go look at 10-K and other public information about the financial aspects of the recent merger of two companies to form JDSU. That should clear it up for you. Also suggest you look at the company's most recent earnings announcement more some good insight.
