You ask if anyone has a better number. Well, here are 8 PEs based on Friday's close, just take your pick: Based on Operating Earnings: 2003 Forward 14 2002 Forward 17 2001 Trailing 22 As Reported earnings: 2003 Forward 19 2002 Forward 24 2001 Trailing 34 The fashionably discredited Fed Model uses a rolling forward PE ratio, giving a PE of 15 based on operating earnings. Using reported earnings, the PE is 21. At the end of the day, any of the 8 could be valid as long as the numbers they are compared against are calculated in the same way.
