Earnings Guessing

Value Line Analysis was mentioned recently. So I went to my
local library (As Moe directed) and pulled together this
silly little analysis of Value Line's opinion of DSC over
the last 2-3 years.

It has been generally positive!

Interstingly enough, there was only one analyst throughout
this period: George I.H. Rho.

Silly conclusions:

1. Value Line earnings estimates have been consistently very
close to the actual.
2. For the first time since 95, Value Line estimates have
increased (albeit just by a penny) as the quarter gets closer.
3. The Value Line estimate is higher than most others I have
seen for Q497.

This implies to me that the company is doing better than
expected.

How to read this:
For the "Period" V/L estimated eps 2, then 1 quarter ahead.
On the V/L Date, the published analysis ranked the stock
(1 highest to 5 lowest). Share price was approximatly as listed
on that date.
