Toshiba Toshiba is a US based company established in 1965 and manufactures electronics and high- technology hardware such as cameras, digital projectors, computer systems, copiers, fax machines medical imaging products, and telecommunication systems just to name a few.

Tamara J. Pullin My three companies were ThinkOutside, TouchStar and Toshiba. ThinkOutside is a privately owned company so I used ANTEC Corp. because they also manufacture keyboards for hand-held devices. TouchStar is owned by The Williams Corporation, which is listed as WMB Toshiba Corporation was listed.

Stock Price Comparison Chart

Tamara’s Recommendations ANTEC’s stock prices fell drastically over the one-year period. They had a net loss of $46.50 per share. I would not recommend purchasing this stock unless it started to show improvement. (The company I originally picked was a privately owned company, therefore I chose this company based on the similar product for the stock comparison). TouchStar (owned by The Williams Corp) had a net gain of $5.56 per share. I would recommend this stock based on the type of hardware they manufacture. I believe their product will be a very good seller in the near future. Toshiba had a net loss of $.37 per share. I would recommend this stock based on the reputation of the company.
