and i thought i was optimistic. this is from the MSN MoneyCentral.. Cymer Price Target < Back Next > Glossary What's the best guess for the stock price in 1-2 years? Investors fix targets for most stocks by estimating future earnings per share and then applying a price-to-earnings "multiple", also known as the P/E ratio. Companies with the most consistent earnings history or strongest growth prospects receive the highest P/E multiples. We calculate price targets for the current and next fiscal year by applying the stock's current multiple to the average professional analyst's estimate.
