DON'T BUY
Recent earnings were disappointing with a negative earnings surprise of 19%. Earnings estimates have been shaved by 23%. Expected to grow from $1.59 to $1.73. Against a 17% P/E it is pretty pricey. The coming year earnings are expected to grow to $2.34. At the moment it looks reasonably priced.

About a year ago they were running about $250 million in sales. Made an acquisition in the last year which boosted their sales to $450 million. Have just acquired another business of about $200 million which takes them to $650 million. Haven't seen the results yet of these acquisitions. Just on the $250 million they were earning about $2.50 per share. Very cheap.

TOP PICK
Long term chart doesn't look that successful, but the sector has been in a big decline, so for the stock to stay level is a good sign. Recently bought a European company which will double the sales. Not including the acquisition, they have about $2 a share in earnings. Believes the management is very strong and can turn the company around.
