This is gleaned from an article on flip chips I came across. Excuse me if it's appeared before; I looked & didn't find it... "...As noted above the market for equipment could be $5 billion, and will grow as customers push the demand for higher end systems and lighter and smaller electronics products. With equipment recently introduced, UTEK has positioned itself for a new unfolding market - something that will have an impact now and not 5 years in the future. If UTEK gets a chunk of the evolving flip chip equipment market (and they are off to a good start), than earnings and growth rate projections for UTEK may be low. The consensus 5 year earnings growth estimate for UTEK is 31%, and the forward PE based on next years consensus earnings is 21, for a growth/forward PE ratio of 1.5 - an attractive buy. With no debt, and revenues that have grown at a compounded rate of 52% for the last three years, we think UTEK is an attractive although somewhat diversified play here."
