With new products growing 20 percent last quarter and an overall slow down in IC sales and PC down in Q4,sales must get hit but still grow??

Long term adaptation to the faster 2.0 version should continue.

Hard to imagine why this 60% margin business selling a bit above cash and no debt shouldn't be a 10 bagger from here in 24 months.


Haven't followed it but a quick look tells me that the problem is with their Sales! They are flat for last 3 years and are slowing down considerably over the next few quarters. Unless they bring down opex, they cannot be profitable despite their high GMs, no debt, etc.

Bob, PLXT could be a good stock, but over the past 18 months it has caved just like most other stocks that we have been watching. In July of 07 it was trading around 13 and now it is in the 1.60 area. If it does find a way to "recover", it will most likely take awhile, just like most of the other stocks we have been following.
