IPO VIEW - New offerings market sluggish next week NEW YORK, June 24 (Reuters) - A mix of technology, transport and retail companies are on offer in a still-moribund market for initial public offerings this week, all with one thing in common: sales and profit. The new emphasis on financial performance is a sharp contrast to last year's technology-crazed IPO market, where losses were evidence of company growth prospects. But analysts said these seasoned companies aren't likely to disappoint - at least not like last year's crop of "dotbombs." "Nasdaq is stabilizing itself and that's a barometer for the IPO market," said John Fitzgibbon, editor of IPODesktop.com, an on-line IPO evaluation service. "We've gone from insanity.com to Graham and Dodd," he added, referring to the standard business school textbook. Still, it hasn't been easy to launch an IPO. Some 120 IPOs have been pulled in 2001, according to IPO.com, a market research firm. Analysts say that's mostly the result of investor distaste for risky technology bets with no profits and sales that may be far off. The crop of three companies planning to go out next week don't fit that bill. On offer this week are American Eagle Tankers Inc., an oil shipping company hoping to raise $125 million; Monolithic System Technology Inc., a semiconductor company aiming to raise $50 million; and Galyan's Trading Co., a retailer looking to raise about $123 million. American Eagle, incorporated in Bermuda but based in New Jersey, is aiming to sell 6.75 million shares at $17.50 to $19.50 each. It's IPO is the latest in a series of energy related companies to go public and the third crude oil transportation company to go public in the last several months. The aftermarket performance for the first two, Stelmar Shipping <SJH.N>, a Greek company, and General Maritime Corp. <GMR.N>, based in New York, has been mixed, so American Eagle is anything but a sure shot for solid aftermarket gains based on this limited criterion. General Maritime is down 24 percent from its offering price of $18 on June 11, while Stelmar has gained 34 percent from its offering price of $12 on March 6. Still, the company has the benefit of solid net earnings of $61.6 million and sales of $271.9 million in 2000, according to its prospectus. And it claims "one of the youngest tanker fleets in the world," most of which are double-hulled, a hot sell in these days of environmental catastrophes that periodically afflict the oil tanker industry. The American Eagle offering is slated to go out on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol AEH, sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney. Galyan's Trading Co., which operates a chain of 21 sporting good stores in the Midwest, could face more challenges in its IPO with state of the highly competitive retail market where at least one big chain, Montgomery Wards, has bellied up this year. The company, in its prospectus, admitted as much, saying it faces competition from businesses such as catalog retailers, other chains, Internet retailers and others in the retail sporting goods market. And its profit margins reflect this: Galyan's reported a scant $363,000 in net earnings on sales of $421 million in 2000, according to its prospectus. Galyan's, which will use the proceeds of the offering to pay debt and expand, plans to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol GLYN in the offering led by Goldman Sachs and Salomon Smith Barney. Finally, Monolithic System Technology, which develops memory technology for the semiconductor and electronics business, plans to sell some 5 million shares at between $9 and $11 through underwriters A.G. Edwards & Sons and Needham & Co. The Sunnyvale, California company reported sales of $15.3 million and net income of $142,000 in 1999.

I am amazed at the current sentiment going forward....so it makes it hard to fight overwhelming psychology as this often defeats fundamental and technical analysis....very hard to make plans in such market flux. Amazing thought one person actually won the Calif. lotto....the change coming to this persons life is fascinating I hope they are under 50!........I briefly thought about them and realized some immediate changes that would occur in my own life and thinking...I quickly thought about my individual strong traits and forgot about current physical needs and demands upon my concentration....very interesting. wow, amazing how instant wealth changes the psyche
