Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMKR)

Picked from a screen that looks for stocks with low pe/roe ratios and then further looks for the lowest possible forward pe ratios. This screen typically outperforms by 20% or more based on backtests over the last decade. No other due diligence performed.

Undue attention to short-term profitability is ignoring longer-term trends leaning in favor of this semi-related stock. The underpinning fincancials are solid, and this company should benefits disproportionally from the continued interest in smart phones and other portable devices requiring IC development.

Underfollowed, underappreciated

I like this stock as do others judging by the fact that it's just been upgraded to a 5 star on CAPS. This stock is going to soar up quite soon, but I'll buy now and settle in for the ride.

I made good money on this before, I am going to try again.

High alpha/omega, and a low theta/vega are the prerequisites for success, but this stock never seems to meet those criterias. It's foundation is strong with it's p/e ratio being consistantly stable, its net profit being good, and its debt ratio being low, but it's missing something to take it over the top, I just don't know what it is.

Company has a very weak balance sheet. Working capital is limited and that is dangerous. However, majority of company's income is generated in the foreign market and that gives the company strong profit potential compared to a similar company that obtains majority of income from North America. Company is also expected to gain because of fx rate translations in the short-run (several months). Risk is high for this company but so is the profit potential. Also, operating income is strong but it is expected to decrease for the first quarter of 2008.

IT industry lagger that's poised to lead.

Amkor Technology, Inc. is a subcontractor of semiconductor packaging for companies operating on an assembly level such as IBM, INTEL, Texas Instruments, Toshiba and Qualcomm Communications. This company produce over a billion in revenue. There is high yeild potenial in this company. The companies Amkor offer services to as mentioned above are hot so why not add the source to my portfolio. I love this company as a hot pick.

A technology stock that hasn't tanked. I expect it to break out in the next 3 months.

amkr is in a strong trend upward. So far the market's weakness has not changed that. After news that the semis may be on the move.(especially since the ratio between software and semis has been stronger in the software division and usually evens out over time) I like this company just as much as when I originally bought it at $5.90. Yes I have owned it for some time. It's pe ratio is low and its growth ratio I think will grow in the next couple of quarters as semis rebound.
