It's all in the forward look and news, because-

1- +5% revenue growth -vs- last qtr
2- income flat -vs- last qtr
3- EPS .07 -vs- .07 last qtr
4- GM this qtr 18.8% -vs- last qtr 19.7% (but 12.0% on YE 9/30/97)
5- current tax rate = 40% (not an issue just a comment)
6- Net margin 18.0% -vs- 18.5 last qtr
7- Big Positive though is royalties revenues +40% -vs- last qtr
8- deferred revenue decreased -vs- last qtr
9- Current ratio declined from 3.32 to 2.85 (but still very solid!)

RMBS has a SOLID balance sheet. But my main thesis has been that the LT story for RMBS has never looked better, but I wonder how patient WS will be with lackluster growth qtr to qtr, remembering that one analyst estimates FY '99 revenues to be $42M versus just reported $38M (only a 10% increase or 2.5% per qtr).

That is why we all say it is all in the call, but barring any new comments made by management and/or "new" news, I do not see RMBS making any big SUSTAINED moves to the upside anytime soon. Next spring is another issue!

Just my .02!

After market trading in Rambus

Before the report, all the offers at 61 1/8 were snapped up.

After the report, there were 4 trades. First was 1700 shares at 61 1/8, 2nd was 1000 shares at 61, 3rd was 500 shares at $59 and last was 500 shares at $59.

Don't know about you, but means nothing to me. If there was good or bad news, it sure would have traded much more than that.
