EV per share continues to drop year after year from 2007 as sales, book value, ebitda increase over the same period supported by a high ROIC, GM%. Note additional risk may be present as a foreign company located in Israel. Low insider ownership of only 4.98% and only 8.60% for institutions. The current low institutional ownership could be viewd as a positive.
