Twister,

You are correct the analysis is a bogus hypeing of the stock value.

The "free cashflow" should be used in a NPV calculation.
This guy is using operating cash flow which greatly overstates the value of the stock.

Here is the real data from SUNW 10-K:

Operating Income 1,522 M
Operating Cashflow 2,516 M
Free Cashflow 420 M

Check this out:

Message 11874320

At 46 times (S&P average) free cash flow, SUNW is only worth $24/share.

Note : "Free Cashflow" is "operating cashflow" minus investment cash expended. This is what is required to keep the business going.
