Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 8 Don't forget CBM's close encounter with bankruptcy just a couple years ago. Investors still consider CBM a highly speculative stock, and the slightest whiff of bad news is going to hit the stock very hard. They are clawing for market share, and that means not raising their prices in Europe as the dollar goes up. That means eating higher DRAM costs. That means cutting profits thin even in good times. The stock market may be valuing CBM fairly, though I suspect there is more potential gain than loss. Investors are just not going to risk all that much on CBM.
