Rumor (key word) by an analyst is they will lose 23% of their potential earnings stream from Motorola. Should this equate to a 23% drop in the stock price? NO!!! Lets do some quick and dirty balance sheet analysis. Total assets: 379,466,000 Total liabilities: 33,874,000 Shares outstanding: 26,540,000 (379,466,000 - 33,874,000) / 26,540,000 = $13.02 Now, this is a growing company with a great earnings stream with IPTV and Bluray. Today the price is near $16.50 per share. There is no way this can go below the $13.02 liquidation value so potential upside is huge. As of right now their is no chance of this company going bankrupt. Their balance sheet looks great. *I am long as of this morning*
Here is the news article that was released this morning: http://blogs.barrons.com/techtrader...says-brcm-wins-mot-iptv-box-slot/?mod=BOLBlog

Found this novel post on the yhoo boards: SIGM closed at $16.60 Feb 1. 2006. Right now the price is below that at under $16.50 For their Fiscal Year ended Jan.28, 2006 (corresponding to the 16.60 price above) they had: $33,320,000 Sales $1,884 Net Income For their Last Fiscal Year (ended Feb.2, 2008) they had: $221,206,000 Sales $70,209 Net Income And the price is the same. Crazy!
Nice balance sheet. What's with the beat down? I didn't even track or know anything about this stock.
25m shares right now (they just bought back 3.8m verified, probably 5m by now). So we're talking about a 12-13% net increase in the share count between Jan 28 -> Present. According to the annual report: Balance, January 28, 2006 21,945,874 Balance, February 2, 2008 30,031,060 (subtract 3.8-5 million bought back) Current assets-liabilities (taking into account 5m bought back at 20) are 250m. Only 25m of that is inventory. April 29, 2006 assets-liabilities were at 43M. I don't care if we're talking about peaked out growth. Since PE is way below 15, we're not priced for growth. Every analyst is 2.20-2.60 going forward. This stock is priced for 1.00 for FY09.
Well, I got into this stock 250 shares @ $16.06 average, let's see where it goes over the next few days. Huge selling pressures on it right now though. Volume is incredible. I could get slaughtered on this one.
