This stock is starting to look like a good value play now.

Is this based on anything other than.. the stock price is down? If so, I'd be interested to hear your analysis.

It's based on the fact that they're now trading at a P/E multiple of about 16. The "business and software solutions" sector has an average P/E of 25 and the "gaming activities" sector has an average P/E of 48. It looks cheap compared to their competitors, but it gets better. They have no debt and $6.27 in cash reserves per share. With a current share price of $18.5, that means over 30% of their share price may be discounted as a "free cash rebate" upon purchase. I don't see any of their competitors with that strong of a balance sheet. Now, I didn't know that about their earnings guidance for summer quarter. That is bad news, but I think the market has been unfairly harsh to this stock resulting in very attractive valuations.
