PERI ok I'll play devils advocate. The reason not to buy is can you really ex out the amortization and acqisition expenses from earnings? These guys have a long history of bad acquisitions. If they continue that trend, the amortization is a real expense because it is a reserve for future bad acquisition costs. If they save up the cash and, say, delever the balance sheet, it is cheap. That said I own a small position I think they deserve some credit for the cash flow.
In my opinion FWIW
