Google tasked the company with producing a wearable pendant camera that google helpouts users can deplor for that service. Googles current video processor partner is Texas instruments but if the partnership goes to ambarella, this will do nothing but help AMBA Strength: Associated with well recognized brands. Large product line include products in the fields of security IP cameras. Wearable cameras, sports cameras, automotive cameras and broadcast infrastructure solutions. Weaknesses: Low brand name recognition. Competing with larger names like Texas instruments. Highly competitive field. Opportunites: New upcoming deal with Google can generate huge profits. and possible more work overseas. Threats: Other small agressive tech companies. Not much going on in the industry except the possible partnership steal from Texas instruments.

Being a new company though it is hard to determine how long these ratios will last. But in terms of current ratio and the Beta, AMBA is looking very good. One problem is that there is not PEG stated so it is hard to tell how agressive this stock will grow. A little low by the CANSLIM standard but since less people sponsor this company this could mean large profits for us. Jumping in before the is known by a lot of people can help turn us the largest profit Average WSJ MSN Money Yahoo Number of Analysts 6 6 6
