Hello f.Simons Re: How do you figure? Adding in taxes paid?

That's not the issue. In Q1 AMD had guided analysts that Q2 would not be subject to taxes. The analysts then made their estimates on that basis. What the "Droids" are saying is that it's invalid to compare $1.14 untaxed estimate to $1.21 actual taxed.

One may compare $1.14 untaxed estimate against $1.51 untaxed actual, or one may compare $.91 taxed estimate vs $1.21. It is invalid to compare a $1.14 untaxed estimate to $1.21 taxed actual.

Intel, having paid taxes as long as can be remembered, has the analysts giving their estimates and Intel reporting their earnings on a taxed basis. Both numbers are on a taxed basis.

Kindest regards,
CrazyMan
