I've read somewhere that O2 supplies the chips that power iPad's LED. Since I'm quite bullish on the sales of i gadgets, iPhones and iPads at the top of the list, I have feeling that OIIM would benefit. It seems like they are trading for 1x sales and 1.5x book price, both are unbelievably low for a technology company.

This stock looks cheap compared to most of its competitors with decent profitability ratios.

Hopefully this will go to $15.

they state that their oversupply issues are over and the products for their markets clearly are getting stronger....

Beat Q2 estimate and probably will beat Q3 earnings too. This stock seems to fly under the radar.

Future expected discounted earnings never enough to repay current price.

I'm experimenting with a particular stock screen. Super low PE, PEG and P/B with a great growth rate makes this an attractive stock.

i don't see how it can go significantly under 4 bucks. over 2 bucks cash/share, p/e of 6, p/b of 0.75, still profitable and generating cash. look at the 8 year chart (since ipo)....extremely cyclical and we've got to be near bottom. although i'm not saying it's going to start going up in the near future, i am confident this will be significantly higher in 1-3 years.

Four star S&P rating with 1 year target price of $7.00.String cash flow, balanace sheet and excellent sales growth.

Amazingly strong balance sheet, with about $4 in net tangible assets, good positive cash flows, power management could be on the top of many minds that are looking for M&A deals, buyback program, many top holders increasing stakes as of 6/30.

Well all major analysts seem to be downgrading the stock, but in methods I don't understand. For instance, Roth Capital downgraded the stock two days ago, yet listed a target price of $6, Needham downgraded it with a target price of just under $10 -- and all are reacting to the bear market. However, even those downgrades are above the current price.

However, none of this makes sense to me. The company has been steadily growing, has a low PEG, high profit margin for the industry, and a great sheet. CAPS here I come, and this weekend I'll do more research and let everyone know if it migrates to my portfolio.

HAS NEW PATENT OKAY

This company has good sales growth and a low stock price.

screened with these parameters...
The previous day's closing price must be less than $9.95 a share.
The previous day's close must be above $2, a floor that reduces risk.
The previous quarter's average daily trading volume must be at least 40,000 shares, to weed out dead or rarely traded stocks.
A return on invested capital of at least 10%, to isolate companies with profits sufficient to support growth or reward shareholders.
A price-to-sales ratio of 8 or less.
Year-on-year revenue growth of at least 12% over the past 12 months.
Revenue growth in the previous quarter must be at least 75% of the growth rate for the previous 12 months.
Forecast earnings-per-share growth over five years of at least 15%.
At least 30% of outstanding shares must be held by Institutional investors.
Mean recommendation by analysts of "hold," "buy" or "strong buy."
No company with a negative earnings surprise in its recent past.

Another high earnings yeild play. When sentiment returns and OIIM's PE approaches its long-term growth rate the brave will realize huge upside.
