Laurens -this may be helpful.... I ran a query in MS Investor for analysts projections of next year and next 5 year EPS growth (as high as possible along with mean recommendation).
Symbol, Company, Rank, EPS Grth Next Yr, EPS Grth Next 5 Yr, Mean Recomm.
WLA, Warner-Lambert, 1, 29.10, 22.50, Mod Buy
PFE, Pfizer Inc, 2, 22.40, 19.20, Mod Buy
LLY, Eli Lilly, 3, 18.30, 16.20, Hold
SGP, Schering-Plough, 4, 16.40, 15.20, Mod Buy
MRK, Merck & Co., 5, 15.70, 14.30, Mod Buy
JNJ, Johnson & Johnson, 6, 13.40, 13.50, Mod Buy
AHP, American Home Products, 7, 11.20, 13.20, Mod Buy
BMY, Bristol-Myers Squibb, 8, 13.80, 13.60, Mod Buy
ABT, Abbott Laboratories, 9, 12.10, 12.40, Hold
ZEN, Zeneca Group PLC, 10, 18.90, 13.80, Hold
I have PFE & MRK; maybe I should think about adding in some WLA.
BTW MS Investor is a nice tool. I subscribe because of it's 'finder' feature, nightly market recap emailed to me, and alerts if I want them. Price is very competitive (9.95/mo)
