Chuzzlewit, First, some real numbers to support your position, since Zoltan apparently doesn't care to know the actual earnings of the company he so vigorously supports. Trailing 4 Quarters: Cisco earned $0.70 after extraordinaries for a trailing PE of 88.75 Consensus earnings for Cisco (forward 4Qs) is $0.90 EPS growth rate forward is 28.6% PEG = 3.10 LU earned $1.13 after extraordinaries for a trailing PE of 57.69 Consensus earnings for LU (forward 4Qs) is $1.44 EPS growth rate forward is 27.4% PEG = 2.10 Forward 4 Quarters: Cisco is expected to earn $0.90 for a forward PE of 69.0 Growth rate = 28.6% PEG = 2.41 Lucent is expected to earn $1.41 for a forward PE of 46.2 Growth rate = 27.4% PEG = 1.69 BTW S&P does know their business, and that business is rating bonds. S&Ps equity analysts are typically 25 yr olds each covering hundreds of companies. I would not trust their analyses or recommendations, particularly since it is clear they do not even know enough to use earnings after extraordinaries. In fact, I'm sure its numbers are spit out by computer, with no one able to take the time to check them.
