Agree that EPS should be viewed prior goodwill amortization in order to ensure comparability of earnings data. However the reality seems to be that the analyst community does not typically or at least always do this.

A good case in point is Bank of America which has multi billions of goodwill on their books resulting from their acquisition of Security Pacific in '92 (amortized over 25 yrs). The valuation of BofA does not reflect any of this intangible expense.
