BUY EXTR

Extreme Networks Inc. (NASDAQ--EXTR)
Valuation-$6.81
Price March 22, 2010-$3.04

EXTR is a network product and service company.

As of December 27, 2009, EXTR had $135 million in net cash and investments and was slightly unprofitable (about $1.4 million loss in latest quarter on a GAAP basis). Our valuation is $6.81 per share so it is trading at 45% of our valuation. Cash is $1.52 per share or 50% of the market price.
Revenues are about $300 million a year, with 58% gross margins.

Ramius LLC filed a 13D on March 15th disclosing over 5% ownership. Ramius usually stirs things up a bit (like the share price). Good valuation, lots of cash, not losing much money and a catalyst in Ramius. Seems like a cheap stock to us.

EXTR trades over 500,000 shares a day.

There are about 90 million fully diluted shares outstanding.
