UFAB has a price to sales ratio of 1.36, a price to book ratio of 3,44 and $4.10 in cash on the balance sheet. The stock is trading at a PE of 15 times estimated March 1999 earnings. However, the fiscal year ended March 1999 earnings are projected to grow just 8% over March 1998 fiscal year earnings. Furthermore, revenues aren't growing at this company(they declined 8.7% in the most recent six months) The CEO recently warned that a shortage of skilled workers remains a major concern. Although the stock is cheap, there is probably not an exceptional amount of growth in store for this company.
