mindmeld, take your pick! I just ran the latest valueline data using NAIC software. The average high pe for the last five years was 34.6, low average pe was 21, average pe was 27.8 with a current pe of 19.9. Valueline has a concensus annual eps of $1.05 and Wall Street Journal Electron edition has $1.08.

Therefore, using the various above pe and eps data we have the following:
At $1.05 EPS x 34.6 = $36.33; at 21 pe you get $22.05; at 27.8 pe you get $29.19 and at 19.9 pe you get $20.89.

If you use the WSJ analyst guide of $1.08 at 34.6 pe you get $36.33; at 21 pe you get $22.68, at 27.8 pe you get $30.02; and at 19.9 pe you get $21.49.

So take your choice.

My guess is $29.19 using a pe average for the last five years of 27.8 x $1.05 eps = $29.19 high for the year.

Valueline has a range $25-40 three to five years out.
