<UTSI> <GB> <UFPT>... <UTSI>..I don't believe the recent run up was for earnings but had to do with the recent news releases. This does a good job of putting it into perspective. fool.com If this was the reason, the thrill may already be gone. It looks like the stock goes up on higher volume days than lower volume days for the most part which is good but look at the last two days, stockcharts.com[w,a]dacayiay[dc][pc20!b50!f][vc60][iut!Ua12,26,9!Uv25]&pref=G I think there are much better stocks out there to add to the folio. risk to reward yada yada. Based on the CCI(Cary contrarian indicator) this in itself however, should be reason to buy. <GB>.. This stock looks nice Sergio. The main issue that I see with it is their ability to stay on the fore front. >Staying ahead of the competition is key to the company's long-term success, since its battery and component competitors are also its major clients, including Guidant, Medtronic (NYSE: MDT - News), and St. Jude Medical (NYSE: STJ - News).< >That was after twice revising downward its revenue forecast because of lower orders from Guidant (NYSE: GDT - News), which cut inventories and brought in-house the manufacturing of certain component parts that it had been buying from Greatbatch. The lower orders cut 2004 revenue by $30 million to $40 million from earlier estimates< Outlook looks favorable if they can. I also believe that in the business sector cost cutting measures while still important will be come less important to companies if the economy continues to grow. >The company is in two industries that look solid for the future: medical and oil. In medical, the federal government's Medicare program is picking up much of the tab for the cardiac-device industry. Demand for those products is growing as society ages and gains weight. It just may be enough to keep Greatbatch's batteries charged well into the future.< >At 38 times this year's earnings estimates, Greatbatch's stock might not be for the faint of heart. But it's not out of line with the premium that the stock commanded before its heart-stopping fall -- especially if you consider that the analysts' earnings consensus for 2006 is more than 50% higher than in 2005, at $0.94 a share.< This still gives it a forward pe of 23.84 I think the recent run up was from the pre earnings announcement. Chart looks to me like it is going to take a breather here. yahoo.reuters.com <UFPT>.. I Like this boring stock. low float, insider ownership, low forward pe, stacks up well against the competition, in segements that are picking up or that aren't going to go away, nice enterprise value and the chart even looks good to me. stockcharts.com[w,a]dacayiay[dc][pc10!b50!f][vc60][iut!Ua12,26,9!Uv25]&pref=G I didn't read any of the filings since I figured you already had and if you hadn't, you read twelve times as fast I do anyway. I apologize to all for what probably is the instock spelling but I didn't feel likw going back and editing it. lol
