Visx has been falling. One broker dropped the price target from $60 to $14, and the stock is on its way there too. It has been forced by competition to cut its licensing fees to $100 from $250 per use of the equipment. The centers that actually perform the surgery might be a better bet now than this company. Its revenues just won't be able to grow as fast now that they are merely 40% of what they were.

Earnings come out today. Look for a big jump. The estimates are up around $0.38.
I see amazing revenue increases! Maybe up to $0.40 EPS.

I know lots of people getting the surgery and they are so impressed with the results!

malcolm also posted about this in the question of the month folder. The company is probably a lot farther off its high after it dropped 41 percent on tuesday. Is the ruling really a huge blow or does that just make the stock a really attractive buy?
what exactly is their business model? I see laser surgery exploding. How does VISX profit from it. They make the machines, but what is their revenue model besides a flat fee for each surgery? Its a company i'd definitely think about investing in.

Here is an interesting company, especially since there are so many people out there now getting the vision correcting surgery. Its a rapidly exploding marketplace.
Its nearly 25% of its high a few months ago. This might be a good time to get in.
Here is a profile of the company:
"VISX, Incorporated designs and develops proprietary technology and systems for laser vision correction. For the six months ended 6/30/99, total revenues totaled $116.5M, up from $56M. Net income totaled $41.3M vs. a loss of $6.4M. Revenues reflect increased systems sales and growth in license revenue due to higher procedure volume. Net income reflect the absence of a $35M legal settlement, higher margins and lower S/G/A as a percentage of revenues."
