Ron After reading your post, I am assuming you are not a doctor of medicine? I am still digesting your analysis but am interested in your last sentence about other comparison tools in SI. I have been a member for 2 years and still learning. Your help will be appreciated. Thanks Don

Very interesting. Now the question that always remains is why? Is the market inefficient, in the sense that it is not allocating resources correctly among the companies (due to incomplete information flow or emotional investment decisions)? Or does the market know something that the PE does not show? Or is KLIC just "undervalued" as we all hope?

For what it's worth... Apparently, not much: A 5 minute PE study (as in post #2752) using an alternate database (Yahoo) continues to show Klic 1 of 2 companies significantly below the group's mean (group mean = 25.3, SD = 11.9, Klic = 10.8, n = 23, using the criteria of group 4 in #2752; all as of 3/26). Also: This is not the forum to hype biotech stocks. Perhaps those interested in private opinions regarding the BT sector should use the 'send a private message' feature on the personal profile page. I'd be amenable to that.
