Year over Year growth in this stock is about .2%
EPS growth year over year is roughly -127%.
This stock is not profitable at this time.
Earnings last year at this time .18
This year estimates are -.05.
It's estimated that the EPS for the year for this company will be -.25. I'm a seller of this stock until it posts a positive EPS in a quarter.

They are to quality control what Microsoft is to PC's. It's the software, not the hardware that drives this company and margins. 300 million in cash and no debt, best pattern matching software, and frankly the best smart cameras.

So what! I like their position for future markets, biometrics and security (such as tracking people in airports ).

They're only one contract away from a $40 stock.

A leader in the machine-vision segment of automation: however, the economics of the segment is changing steadily. While wily, I don't think Cognex can overcome the profit-eroding effect of commodity hardware.
