This is a copy of my post at Yahoo. Would appreciate any response: ************************* I got this info from Waterhouse Securities: Annual earnings are currently at $1.86: 3Q '97 -- $0.38 4Q '97 -- $0.47 1Q '98 -- $0.49 2Q '98 -- $0.52 When 3Q comes out (if at 45 cents as predicted vs year-ago 38) then EPS will be $1.93. That's 3.8% above current EPS. When 4Q comes out (if at 46 cents as predicted vs year-ago 47) then EPS will drop to $1.92. After 1Q of '99 (if they meet estimates of 51 cents) then annual EPS will be at $1.94. After 2Q of '99 (if they meet estimates of 56 cents) then EPS will be at $1.98. That's a 6.5% increase over the current EPS in the next 4 quarters. I hadn't actually looked at the specific numbers until now. The big growth for fiscal '99 (that will help them achieve the 30% growth predicted) isn't until the last two quarters of Fiscal 1999, which means not for another full year. Now the drop makes a little more sense. Of course, look at all the tech stocks that have negative earnings and don't predict to be positive for awhile. They seem to be holding up fine.
