Alan,

ASYT has done better, this year, than the 8 semi-equips I am holding. I still believe that automation will take second place to other niches over the longer term and that automation is going through a catch up window during which their sales growth exceeds the other semi-equips.
This relativly stronger growth is reflectd in the price of ASYT.

As far as specific performance is concerned, ASYT has had relatively flat sales, I believe, but has improved profitability considerably. I have not followed them closely enough this year to have any real opinion on the company.
