Business Outlook
Pros
Old technology continues to prop up sales at this once promising company. There is a lot of talent working at SMART, however the direction given by top management is misguided and lacks a clear direction for success.
Cons
Core technology has issues and is not as good as more recent competitors. Innovation is stifled as the company tries to deal with spiraling debt and reduced revenues overall. A recent cost-cutting effort will not be significant enough to have any substantial effect on performance and will probably hurt upcoming product releases.
