CAPS All-Star BuffettJunior1 elaborates on the growth opportunity:

Interesting business. Its one of the fastest growing small companies right now. I read the annual report and the management states that they want to achieve 2 billion in revenues by 2015. I personally think this is a bit too ambitious, but it's not impossible. If the cash return on invested capital can remain high, and the company can reach its goal of 2 billion by 2015, then this stocks intrinsic value will be well over 100 per share.
