MSFT's 12 month trailing EPS is now at 2.29 So what PE range will it trade this Q? 2.29 * 50 => 114.5 2.29 * 55 => 126 2.29 * 60 => 137.5 2.29 * 65 => 148.5 2.29 * 70 => 161 2.29 * 73 => 167 John, This looks better than I thought. You gotta remember that that from Sept quarter to December quarter they went from 56 to 73 cents. December to December they are up 74%. The PC explosion along with Office2000, Windows2000, and continuation of SQL 7.0, internet business (MSN). I think it deserves a higher PE than shown on your list. The year over year gains in the last two quarters were incredible. C'mon---Do you really believe Windows2000 is not going to be a huge deal. Just remember that "analysts" thought Window98 upgrades were not going to be that significant.(I still remember some of these guys saying this CNBC--I remember the faces) They were wrong as usual. What about Office 2000? Both of these new releases are going to generate phenomenal revenue-----even with Y2K. LOL.
