Has anyone heard good things about Sequent computer? I know they had a
rough time in 1991 and they seem to be a track for a small profit in
1992. They are low cost/high performance server maker that build their
boxes around commodity chips such as the Intel 486/586. They are very
well regarded as a database engine due to their scalability and
relative low cost.
Stock trading at (I think) 21.
I am curious about what their long term prospects are (and stock price).

Sequent has done a good job with their recent machines - good MP scaling and ties with leading database vendors such as Oracle, Sybase, and Informix. They also sell their machines under the Unisys nameplate; indeed, all of Unisys's best price/performance machines are Sequent made. | |||||

Today, in WSJ, they reported the loss of Sequent's president. Stock
took a big hit presumably because the investment community feels this
president is the reason that they are now making money. Of course,
changing this one individual does not reverse the success they have
had. They should prosper when the INTEL 586 chip ships. Look for
continued success and hope for another president with the right
focus...
