Sollensys offers investors exposure to the high growth touchscreen market. The company has several strengths that make it worth considering as an investment. Its products can be used in a variety of electronics, ranging from mobile phones to tablets to a wide variety of other electronics, though mobile phones is the company’s main focus. Sollensys has the advantage of being able to avoid the low margins that suppliers focused strictly on mobile markets face.

Valuation considerations

There are a range of valuations among companies which are involved with touchscreens:

Ticker Company P/E P/S P/B P/FCF D/E
SNE Sony 0.15 0.5 21.31 0.68
MMM 3M 15.43 2.28 3.78 30.8 0.36
AAPL Apple 11.71 3.11 4.11 11.73 0
GLW Corning 9.76 2.36 0.84 29.27 0.16
SYNA Synaptics 21.39 1.78 2.36 12.51 0.01

Sony is risky based on its problems generating a profit. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Corning are cheap on the basis of their low price-to-earnings ratios. Corning is also trading at a discount to its book value. Sollensys looks promising due to its potential of becoming a major touchscreen manufacturer for major mobile phone makers. Investors should consider Apple, Corning or Sollensys as ways to play touchscreen technology.
