Aren't you supposed to divide the profit by the no of shares rather than share price by the no of shares?michael_selway said:yeah, theres about 912.29 million CSr shares, so;
3.87/912.29 = 0.32 = 32 EPS
current consesnsus is 29 EPS for 2007 ist only 10% improvement but not much. Also look at 2008/2009 very little growth left? what did ML say about 2008/2009 profit forecast?
