so call me or tweet me at jim cramer. welcome to the earnings offseason. for each company is debated on its own merits. we don't have to be overwhelm by company that have stories to tell but not enough people to listen. take next monday. we hear from companies, a company that i repeatedly predicted over time. it would be too valuable to stay independent. it does testing measurement of everything to computers to life science and cloning. it has a storied history. having been part of the hewlett-packard empire. it has gotten the last laugh because the business is in secular growth mode. it has devolved into two companies that are seemingly in decline. hp ink and hp enterprises, a catch-all company that i think is still trying to find its over way. what amazes me is that it has so much technology for the very high growth life sciences field, hasn't attracted any suitors. it would be a natural for companies that could both use the product line extension. i would never recommend a stock for a takeover basis. but i can't do it if the fundamentals aren't strong.
