Just yesterday, one of those bulls, buyn2hold, tapped the stock as a bargain pick worth watching:
The price is on the low end of historical price/sales ratio and mid-range on price/earnings. They've weathered a prolonged drought of new releases and still have cash on the books with no debt. Television series through Nickelodeon and Netflix are adding to revenue and may have room for growth. The price should increase in the near future if they can get back on and maintain a more frequent feature film release schedule. In other words, the current problems are baked into the price and better times may be ahead.
