Price of Silence & Irrational Pessimism ASND has paid a dear price for being silent during 9703 turning nvestors' sentiment into "irrational pessimism". www4.techstocks.com www4.techstocks.com The forward PE now is 24.75 / 1.15 (First Call's FY98 consensus) = 21.5 PEG = 21.5 / 38 (First Call's 5-yr median growth rate) = 0.57 which means ASND is now trading at 57 % of its 5-yr growth rate, a very undervalue situation. CSCO's rev. for the 9801 is $1,869 MM, a seq. increase of 5.9% over 9704 of $1765.1 MM. CSCO is accorded with a much higher trailing and forward PE than ASND for its good corporate citizen image and it's hard to grow seq. at 5.9% at CSCO's size.
