Here is a small glimmer of light. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 17, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The following is being issued by Hoefer & Arnett Incorporated, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, CRD number 10883: Today, Hoefer and Arnett analyst Mark Miller reiterated his buy recommendation on Helix Technology (Nasdaq: HELX). The basis for the buy recommendation was yesterday's report by Helix of record third quarter results. This report also included new Helix records for bookings and billings as well as Helix management's comments that they will be able to continue to deliver impressive results going forward. The number of new semiconductor fabs currently under construction coupled with semiconductor technology transitions such as 300mm wafers make it highly unlikely that the semiconductor equipment suppliers will experience the magnitude of a slow-down next year that is currently reflected in their share prices. Helix is also a major supplier to other high growth markets such as fiber optics and flat panel displays. This revenue diversity and as well as possible new business opportunities for Helix in 2001 cause the equity to be undervalued at its current share price.
