CAPS Rating:

Provider of highly integrated semiconductor processors that enable intelligent networking, communications and security applications.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Let's review some vital data:

- Market cap: $1.15B
- Revenue for the trailing 12 months is about $48M.

That's right, they're currently trading at 24x revenue. That's simply absurd. If some 800lb. hardware company wanted to buy Cavium, they'd almost certainly wait until i...More

That's right, they're currently trading at 24x revenue. That's simply absurd. If some 800lb. hardware company wanted to buy Cavium, they'd almost certainly wait until it dropped at least to the 10x range, unless it was a very strategic acquisition and there was competition. Even if you assume similar revenue growth for the next quarter, to $16M, that's $54M for all of 2007, and still 21x revenue. 3rd quarter was the first quarter where Cavium was profitable. They made $186K of profit from product, the rest was from interest income on the $100M they received when they went public in May. That's $1.3M in interest income. Given the Q3 net income of $1.31M, they'd have to double their net income for the next three quarters to gain a TTM P/E 58. While Cavium looks like a fine company, the stock price is way inflated.
