HOLD

There is another restructuring coming. Their forecast is not too rosy. A lousy business. Moving into other areas which could turn out better.

DON'T BUY

The electronic manufacturing service area in general is plagued by overcapacity and following margins. It's tough to make a buck in this sector. Dead money for now.

DON'T BUY

Thinks contract manufacturing is past its time in North America. Expect this to move increasingly to India and China.

BUY

They're a shareholder and feels they will be adding to the stock at this price. You have to look out to next year and their order rates. Its end markets are just not growing. Would like to see some new customers come in. Expect in the next year they will start to see some better order numbers. Cheap.

SELL

Can't see them making a turn around soon. Not only is there a lack of sales growth and visible earnings, they are still paying a price for past sins.

SELL

A very competitive business. Their end customers haven't come swinging back. There is still huge overcapacity in the industry. The stock ranks 550 out of 700 (bottom 3rd.) in his quant model. Earnings estimates have gone down by 15% in the last 90 days.

DON'T BUY

There is huge excess capacity out there. Margins just keep getting compressed. It's very hard for these guys to make a buck.

BUY

The industry has been a big disappointment. Going through a readjustment. Has beeen neglected. Not expensive.

DON'T BUY

Used to like them and the business they were in, but has stopped liking the business. The problem is, they have no control over their product. There is a constant squeeze on margins.

TOP PICK

Dropped a lot and at this price, it is pretty well washed out. Continued to retreat despite executing on its plan reasonably well. The problem is that some of its end customers, such as Sun Microsystems (SUNW-Q) and IBM (IBM-N) have reported weak sales. A lot of their business model deals with flow through of hardware. 55% of their business is now done out of Asia.

DON'T BUY

Expects it to be in a very narrow trading range until there is a significant pick up in technology spending. Continuing to work on its cost controls and earnings were a little bit above expectations. Still looks expensive relative to its growth prospects.

DON'T BUY

Keen on the tech sector because of the good values. This one is further removed from the food chain, so there are better things to invest in right now, such as Intel (INTC-Q) or Dell (DELL-Q), Cisco (CSCO-Q). It will do well later on in the cycle.

DON'T BUY

Considered a safe way to play technology. A very low margin business. When the tech industry goes down, it is hit as well. They are shying away from the EMS sector. The sector has had to go through a dramatic restructuring. Prefers to be with the innovators, not the producers.

WAIT

5 year chart shows the stock's clearly in a downward trend. Not going to change in the near future. 1 year chart shows a nice recovery in the last 3/4 weeks. A recovery in a bear market and an opportunity to get out. Information technology sector has a terrible time from the end of Jan to the end of May. Earnings picture is starting to recover. Wait until Sept to buy.

DON'T BUY

Thinks the stock is looking for a bottom here. Numbers on the recent results were disappointing on the face of it, but the operating earnings were not too bad. Their problem was the "one time" restructuring charges that they took. Growth outlook is not terrific yet. Need to see a big resurgency in tech spending.
