ANAD bucked the trend on Friday since the SOXX was down

The surge in short interest after the drop in price could very well be a set up for a short squeeze.

nasdaq.com`&selected=ANAD`

And lets remember ANAD warning of a revenue shortfall in the 4th qrt. not the 3rd qrt:

"Anadigics said fourth-quarter revenue will decline between 30% and 35% from its third quarter revenue target of about $51 million. The company said the revenue shortfall will result in a "substantial reduction in fourth-quarter earnings."

"The company did say it expects record sales and profit in the third quarter and the company offered a bullish outlook for next year, with growth expected to exceed 50%."

"We expect the inventory corrections to be completed by the end of the year and anticipate a return to double-digit sequential revenue and earnings growth in the first quarter 2001," Bami Bastani, Anadigics' president and chief executive, said in a statement."

Earnings forecast into 2001:

PE ratio forecast YR 2000: 34 and YR 2001: 25

EPS est for this qrt = $0.23 vs $0.10 last year, 130% increase. for the 4th qrt only $0.02 vs $0.15 last year, a substantial drop.

IF ANAD troubles are just for one qrt, as stated, then these current prices are a steal, IMO.
