The DTS Shell Game     12-May-09 12:36 pm    
DTSI did not really raise guidance; they changed their format to make it look like they raised guidance. Earlier guidance included litigation expense; new guidance EXCLUDES litigation expense. Why did they play this game? Because litigation expense is significantly exceeding expectations, which would have caused them to lower guidance. Instead, voila, just leave it out of guidance entirely! Presto! This is why this management seems to have such a suspect reputation (see string) and makes me wonder why they changed auditors (see string).

And a giant red flag on insider stock issuance. Share equivalents that are not included in shares oustanding have ballooned to 1.8 million, or over 10% of existing shares outstanding. This is getting excessive relative to the average public company, and symbolizes unrestrained management greed, in my opinion. If they can convince people to pump the stock (on their "increased" guidance), they can cash in! God bless America.
