>>First, the 8% additional revenue could easily translate into a rise of 25% in profits (not 8% like you imply). This is a big deal.<< In fact, I'd like to understand in what way the revenue wouldn't simply drop to the bottom line. Anyone??? >>But more importantly is the growth rate which goes a long way to determining the PE. You claim they had $13B in revenue in the past year with an additional $1B declared as unearned. The year before they had $10B in revenue. So, is the growth rate 30% or 40%? This is a VERY BIG deal.<< And the earnings growth would be increased even more...right?
