Hi Paul - I guess that is why one should evaluate an investment with several different value measures. From the article you posted for DIS:"... Free cash flow is key to evaluating media firms, DeGulis says. Disney's free cash flow is expected to equal about $2.35 per share in fiscal 2008, which ends in September. "That should be slightly above earnings of $2.15 a share," DeGulis said. "That's a very healthy situation. Generally for the S&P 500, free cash flow is about half of EPS." ..." I have had DIS on my watch list and maybe it is time to start a position especially if the analysts sees a 10% growth in their ESPN unit. One of Buffet's value measures TFCF (True Free Cash Flow) is one I have used with a lot of success especially if the company has a long term track record of posting positive TFCF. The media sector has underperformed the S&P 500 so perhaps now is a good time to build up your positions. EKS
