Will, I've been doing some research on Brooks and the stock looks incredibly cheap right now for someone that has the patience to weather out the current semiconductor slump. I got the following figures from the stocksheet.com website as of March 31, 1998. stocksheet.com Brooks Automation Inc. Book Value/Shr........$12.89 Total Assets...........$145,800,000 Total Liabilities.......$15,500,000 Stock Holder Equity..$130,400,000 Cash & Equivalents...$65,500,000 / 10,111,000 shares = $6.48 per/share Short Term Debt......$200,000 Long Term Debt.......$100,000 Current Stock Price..$11.50 Can someone confirm my cash per share figure as I just took the cash & equivalents and divided by the number of shares outstanding. If you take the book value of $12.89 and add in the $6.48 cash per share you get $19.37. At the current price of $11.50 and taking into account the large amount of cash and lack of significant debt, this company looks particularly well positioned to weather the current downturn in the semiconductor industry.
