    Revenues are rising somewhat parabolically since 2004. Operating margins have grown from 5% in 03 to 28% in the ttm and show no sign of cresting yet.  

     

    The are expected to grow sales 32% and E 34% next year. This on top of the 97% E growth they averaged the past 5 yrs. Priced at 18, its 30 p/e is very attractive for such grwoth.
