FEI Company (FEIC)
from PAD System Report
FEI Company (FEIC) was just boosted to a “3” for year ahead performance. The stock has recovered to the mid-80s, even though it is still down for the year.
This is an honest reflection of the temporary halt in earnings growth. Next year, however, could see eps growth of 30%. The demand for FEI’s microscopes will remain strong for many years, as the applications of nanotechnology continue to increase.
FEIC spends more than 10% of revenues on research and development to keep its market-leading position in scanning, tunneling electron microscopes. The company has no debt, has been increasing its dividend, and is buying back its stock.
