  Nice acquisition play

GLBL has been producing some steadily rising earnings over the past few quarters. Internal strengths have been growing as well, as cash has piled up in this company. Would you like a stock priced at $15.80 per share that has $7 per share in cash in the till? Here you are. GLBL's annual revenues are about $1 billion dollars on a current run rate, or over $8.50 per share. The profit margin is strong, and over $224 million of that billion-dollar revenue over the trailing twelve months has fallen to the EBITDA line. Current expectations are for the company to earn $0.30 per share this quarter (March 2008 ending) on their way to an EPS figure of $1.54 for the 2008 year. The company maintains about $394 million in debt, or about $7 per share. In other words, they can pay off their debt with what's available in cash at the drop of a hat. In this analyst's mind, that makes GLBL a very nice asset acquisition play.
