It was a good q, but the eps was boosted by .02 from a gain on sale of assests and foreign currency. After adjusting for that, eps was .07 v .08 in the 3rd q. The book to bill continues to be strong, but orders were slightly lower then the 3rd q as well (7.4 v 7.9). The stock made a nice move up into the earnings report, so I'm guessing that is part of the explanation for a muted response.
