Business Outlook

Pros

High technology products and working with the leading semiconductor manufacturers. Established company with deep pockets to invest.

Cons

Still recovering from the difficulties of the Verigy acquisition. Pushing out many of the employees responsible for Advantest's last decade of big profits. No clear direction to invest for growth, while simultaneously facing stagnation in historical market.
