Marc,
It looks to me as if Needham has lowered the bar for PTEC's expectations. It probably stems from Jack Kay's new conservatism. I don't think either wants to be in a position of not meeting earnings estimates ever again. Well, we have a low bar now, let's see how far PTEC can clear it. As you said last week perhaps this is another buying opportunity. To use your words, (sigh)
Regards,
Jules

If I'm reading those numbers correctly, Needham is predicting quarter to quarter earnings growth in the 35%-45% range.

Do we think that kind of growth can be sustained for the next couple of years? If so, PTEC should have no problem hitting the low-twenties in the next 6-12 months.
