Multi-Fineline Electronix (MFLX)

Operating not far from Disneyland, this maker of flexible, printed circuit boards for electronic devices allied with Motorola (MOT) in 1990 and has been on a mostly upward thrill ride ever since. Today, Multi-Fineline gets 81% of its revenues from Motorola's cell phone, which has helped nearly triple revenues since 2003 to $357.1 million in fiscal 2005. Profits in that time have grown nine-fold to $37.2 million. The company also provides circuits for IBM's (IBM) data-storage devices, Palm's (PALM) PDAs, and medical equipment from General Electric (GE). Controlled by Singapore-based WBL, Multi-Fineline recently announced it would pay $500 million in stock and cash to buy an Asian competitor, MFS Technology, which is also controlled by WBL.
