CSC needs to answer some important investment questions. Does anyone out there know: Q1: Why is CSC's profit margin so low? I.E. less than 5% Do they underestimate their expenses when they sign these big deals, and then struggle to make a profit? Q2:Why are their cash levels so low too? For a company wish such huge revenues and cash flows, they don't seem to be able to build up much wealth. Q3: Why are estimates for CSC around $0.70 for upcoming quarter, but then falling to $0.50 for the following quarter? Are there charges or something that analysts are anticipating for that next quarter? I like the idea of CSC, and the business model, and their continued winning of contracts. But will CSC be a profitable investment for me? O.
