Lambda Physik die Chance !!

Coherent, Inc.   vom 1.November
(Nasdaq: COHR) today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter
ended September 30, 2000. Sales were $155.0 million, an increase of $23.3
million (18%) compared to sales in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Net
income for the quarter was $43.7 million ($1.53 per diluted share) including a
$32.3 million ($1.13 per diluted share) after tax gain as a result of an
increase in the value of Coherent's 60.4% ownership interest in Lambda Physik AG
following its initial public offering (the Lambda gain). Pro forma net income of
$11.4 million (excluding the Lambda gain) represented a 56% increase ($4.1
million) compared to net income in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

During the fiscal year, Lambda Physik booked orders for a record $49.0 million
in DUV excimer lasers for the lithography marketplace. This compares to $19.0
million booked in fiscal 1999. Lambda Physik sold a record $35.6 million in DUV
excimer lasers for lithography in fiscal 2000, compared to $20.2 million sold in
fiscal 1999.
Early in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, as we
announced several weeks ago, Lambda Physik booked the largest order in its
history for lithography lasers to be shipped over the next nine months.

Anfang Dezember sollten die genauen Zahlen von Lambda kommen.Ich frage mich nur wie die aussehen,wenn die Gewinne doch bei Coherent einfliessen.Und ob nicht die recht stabile COHR eine bessere Wahl wäre...
