1026.0. "Seek Info on HELIX Technology (HELX)" by IROCZ::SPIELMAN (Jerry dtn 226-5588) Thu Sep 12 1996 00:13

    Does anyone follow HELIX Technology (HELX) ? 
    
    I'd be interested in names of companies that may have analysis on them.
    (I haven't gotten around to calling Helix yet, but they are based in
     Mansfield Mass)
    
    This company now depressed to around 26 (last year high of 55) and
    having been as much as ~42 a few months ago, on a rebound from 24) is
    on the way to earning close to $3.00 in '96, and now pays $1.40/anum
    dividend ! 
    (Earnings are 1.49 so far for 6 months, yr end = DEC 31).
    
    '95 sales of 124M and earnings of 2.10. '96 sales anticipated around
    200M.
     No long term debt!
     $10,000 invested 5 years ago (as of 5/96) was worth $227,000.
    
    Its a specialty producer of applications for low temperature and vacuum
    devices.  some of which are used in semiconductor manufacturing.
    
    Can they keep it up ? Standard and Poors likes them and thinks they can
    grow at 25-35% per year over the next 5.
    
    Does anyone have any insights on this one ?
    
    Thanks,
    Jerry

1026.2STAR::HITTI break for ACCVIOsThu Sep 12 1996 13:4714
A quick summary of what I read from the Wall Street Analysis of Research
Magazine (www.researchmsg.com):

  * Wall Street rating is a "Buy"

  * Earnings are forecasted to increase 35.7% this year with a 1.4% decline 
    next 
year(confidence in forecastis 'below average stastically')

  * Their P/E range for '95 was 7.0-26.5, '94 was 6.2-17.6, '93 8.1-16.9 so
    they're trading at the low end right now

Take it for what it's worth (it's free info).
