Here's an expanded table of comparative financial data for the public PC graphics companies. I went and dug up the equity information to show what kind of premium on equity the market is paying for graphics companies. I think this is further evidence that the Toronto market is treating ATI just fine, thank-you-very-much.

Again, this is my own opinion, not the company's. Ski
