Analyst estimates for revenues are seen at about $21 million in 2011, and are expected to surge to about $37 million in 2012. That type of growth is hard to find, so this stock could be a good rebound candidate after having a tough 2011. The company recently expanded its lab in order to increase capacity. Oppenheimerrecently downgraded this stock to "perform" from "outperform," and that put pressure on the stock.
