OVTI earnings guidance record

The latest analyst note on OVTI says that they doubt OVTI can meet guidance for the next quarter.

Due to length of product cycles, OVTI always knows where they stand approximately 3 months in advance. I caught a post on yahoo finance. You can also cross check it on Yahoo finance at least for the last 4 quarters. For seven quarters they have met or exceeded their guidance. Will they do it again is anyone's call.

Here is a summary of guidance vs. actual performance for the past 7 quarters. G=Guidance A=Actual.
