Sales have been dropping for the last 8 quarters. The dividend payout ratio has dropped and even though the free cash flow has improved last quarter, that will just cover dividend payments. If look at the P/E,P/S you might think the stock is ok but a book value of 8x vs 3x industry average and a PEG of 11x vs 3.8x is just too high. Without improving sales, what is the justification for such high PEG and book ratios?
