MERX, (G&W)...I like it. Just looked at their business outlook and this company looks real good for forward growth and profits. Excluding the $500k expense for stock options, they're projecting $0.31 - $0.35 per diluted share next quarter. Not bad for a $10.5 stock!!
Picked up a few shares. I'll look at it a little more.
Thanks for posting.
Business Outlook
For the first quarter of fiscal 2007, Merix expects sales to range between $102.0 million and $106.0 million with GAAP net income of between $5.2 million and $6.1 million or between $0.25 and $0.30 per diluted share. GAAP net income includes an estimated $500 thousand for stock option expense required to be recorded beginning in our fiscal 2007 under SFAS No.123®. Non-GAAP earnings are expected to range between $6.3 million and $7.2 million or between $0.31 and $0.35 per diluted share and exclude stock option expense and amortization of identifiable intangibles. EBITDA, adjusted to eliminate stock option expense, in the first quarter is expected to range between $13.3 million and $14.3 million.
