Pretty low if need be, but ADPT is not going much lower. Sorry to disappoint you- I am an optimist on this one.

Does CPQ wants to take over ADPT, ADPT is now forsale. Man It lost almost 1 more point again today then the market is recover or up this baby not moving any thing. Short is still queeze ADPT. I guess every one is buy and sell in same day, ADPT will flys soon backup your truck. Never see ADPT down so much like this, some buy back from company will be helpful. Best Quan Nguyen

Just FYI, the last time ADPT was this low (split-adjusted) was Jan. 31, 1995, when it touched $12.875. Revenues for the quarter ended just prior, Dec. 31 '94, were $123.4 million. Gross margin was 58% (probably about where we are now), and net income was $27.4 million, or $0.26/share. Incidentally, someone a while back was wondering how far the string of profitable quarters extends. To date, Adaptec has posted 55 profitable quarters in a row. The quarter ended Sept. 30, '97 was the 25th quarter in a row of consecutive revenue growth (obviously, that string broke right there). All in all, pretty remarkable, but it sure doesn't seem to count for much at the moment, does it?
