Steve, is this the article you mentioned?
Genicom Corp. of Chantilly (GECM, Nasdaq), up 78 percent. Genicom's
computer and printer systems business turned around in the fourth quarter and
the switch from loss to profit has produced steady gains in the company's
stock.
Genicom, which has been publicly traded since 1986, was a company with
stagnant sales, inconsistent earnings and a $2 stock just three years ago.
Restructuring, refinancing and realignment are now paying off. And the
acquisition of the printer business of Texas Instruments Inc. last October
pushed the scale of the operations from around $225 million a year to $350
million a year, attracting the attention of investors.
Here's a little info I obtained from Strategic Investor this weekend.
GECM IND
P/E 29.29 30.17
Pr/Sales .26 3.77
Pr/Book 1.93 5.67
Pr/CF 4.07 31.59
Also remember that the PE for GECM inclued the -.20 in quarter 3 of
1996 for the purchase of TI's printer division.
Good luck to all GECM shareholders!!!!!! |
