I'm just saying you are a fool for wasting time arguing about which number to use. NOBODY cares. If you want to argue something more relevant, like the fact that SUNW came in about $170 million light in revenues, or that they guided revenues to 30-35% going forward and that's not good enough for you, then so be it. But to argue about which number to use is a waste of my time, so give it up! The street was looking for 0.16 and that's what all the headlines and news reports are focusing on.
You're not going to get anyone to believe your bear hype that SUNW missed by 4 cents, ok? SUNW did 0.16 vs 0.10 pro-forma.
Sun, which resisted an industry-wide trend to lower forecasts for this quarter in the face of economic weakness, said operating earnings, excluding one-time items, were $552 million, or 16 cents per share, after $354 million, or 10 cents per share, a year ago. |
