Video Lottery Technologies, Inc

Article Abstract:

Video Lottery Technologies Inc stock might not immediately recover from a 60% price decline for the Sep 1992 quarter. Several analysts, however, have shown interest on the video terminal and control system supplier due to the resignation of Chmn and CEO Larry Lippon. A sale of 909,000 shares by Lippon and Richard Barber has also altered the weak outlook for the stock. Analyst James Stark believes that Lippon's exit lessened the risks of the stock. Tom Sprague and Bruce Turner have also expressed similar favorable speculations on Video Lottery Technologies.
