Fair Value is based on 5 analyst following the company. The company is active in the domain of semi-conductors so highly volatile but the story behind this company is very appealing : It is a family owned company with a management being there already for longtime and having themselves important stakes They have a very tight relation of being the producers of Melexis (that only conceives chips) qnd hence is assured by a steady flow of orders The current figures are biased by a hefty investment in building up extra capacity They do not target high volumes as this is a battle they can not win, they are just strong in making small to medium batches The major risks and attention points are : Will follow the volatily of the semiconductor business Linked to auto industry so if this one is suffering XFab will perform weaker as well They realize high margins but if Revenue is not attained immediate impact on the bottom line as there are consequent sunk costs.Read more
