They provide parts and equiment to the semiconductor industry. Has pulled back with the slowdown in the industry in general but they are making the right moves and trying to diversify their revenues. Probably not going to see a lot happening with this company until there is more confidence behind the industry and the China and US tensions. They have a decent amount of cash. Probably best to wait for the industry to recover.
Their specialty is extremely precise temperature measurement when making semiconductor chips. They deal with 5 big guys in the world, and have now got new management. Cleaned up their capital structure. Have clients asking for designed-in operations. Trading at $1.66 and earnings are expected to be $.11 this year, so the stock is trading at roughly 16X earnings. That compares favourably, because earnings last year were $.05. They produce a very large amount of free cash flow. There are still great opportunities in semiconductors, particularly when looking at the Internet of Things. This appears to be cheap. Looks like it has clear sailing.
