Ceramics are the material of the future.Body armor may be the profit driver now, but over time the company's other products will become key contributors. There are many diverse applications of ceramics in industry and medicine (orthopedics) due to their unique physical properties. This is a long term winner, take advantage of the sell-off.
While I agree ceramics may have future value to many industries, I highly doubt ceradyne will be a big orthopedics maker. JNJ, smith & nephew... think ceradyne can compete with them? Plus i see nothing in company summary stating as much.
They are the best at doing what they do tho - ceramics for military and industrial purposes.
