1) Gross margins to die for
2). Some of the best engineering potential in the company
3) Huge cash cow that can be counted on by over charging by billions to the FAANGs and Chinese companies
4) Huge abilit to pour cash into new initiatives and invest for the long term instead of buying late into new fads.
You’d think BoD had vision and leadership to steer it. But we got PSO and BK in time of need and the layoffs.

Nah, those with talent too smart to touch the Titanic, those blinded by ambition but lacking vision or true leadership are a dime a dozen.
BoD is paralyzed in true moment of crisis something they are ill equipped to manage. Too bad they didn’t make the right decision a decade ago when PSO was selected and let the ship run amuck

Almost a certainty that 2018 will be a record by the numbers and 2019 will be an epic crisis that BoD will fail as their past track record has proven.
