Dear Professor,

P/E multiple simply reflects the confidence in the investment community as to the company's future prospects, as well as their estimation of it's pedigree.
Companies as tiny as ASYS are next to impossible for institutional investors to buy due to liquidity constraints, so they can languish in obscurity for decades unless they can increase their market cap. They are simply too small to make it on the radar screens of most investors.

According to your post Message 14633447 AMAT apparently is (or once was) a customer of ASYS.

Do you own shares of ASYS? Is the management trustworthy (my first question in looking at any company)?

ASYS, provides product to AMAT customers.

I do not recall of any time that AMAT has directly purchase ASYS equipment.

But both ASYS and AMAT will work together to insure their products are tool to tool compatible so their common customers can integrate the tools into their product production line.

Just a thought.
