CPHD reporting 3rd quarter earning today (11-1-07). Total revenues up 53% compared to 3rd quarter 2006 due mainly to their new "GeneXpert(R) System" which provides rapid detection of Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MRSA has had a lot of press recently and this rapid testing is a need in hospitals and medical facilities to detect drug-resistant organisms for quick treatment. I listened to their webcast of their earnings this pm and they are really increasing the number of sales of this system. This one will go higher and I would not be surprised to hear news that this company would be an M&A target. This one will go higher.
