Later today gonna check this out again!

Just checked both company background, yeap can see some similarities. Chart wise, both almost same, and seems like Elsoft tries to catch up. Again, later will look c look c FA

Also remember...
When you have a number, be it TTM eps or even NTA, you need to take one extra effort...
and compare it versus previous years....
if TTM numbers is getting less and less....
it means the company is not doing good...
company is making less and less money....
when you see companies like this....
investors would most likely to shy away....
who wants to invest in a company that is making less and less money each year?
NTA.
Some (nowadays) like to make a hoo ha over ASSets value...
why?
most of the time...
profits like shit....
or profit too small....
so since cannot use low PE, they use NTA to seduce traders to buy.

Some cases....
yes, company is asset rich but they are sitting on their fat ass and not doing anything about it...
these companies don't seem to care if they make money or not...
they just sit on their ass, knowing their company is asset 'rich'......
and then there are companies whose asset value (NTA) actually depreciate over the years....
think about the implication....
if NTA indicates value of the company...
and then each year, the value of company actually shrinks....
LOL!
Yes... there are some such stocks around...
and they do trade at a huge discount over their traded share price!
So do be careful...
take one extra step...
compare the figures with previous year numbers.....
no rocket science involved....
