Hi, I could find only 3 analysts that care to predict QCOM's 1998 earnings... The earnings estimates are $1.55, $2.00 and $2.36 Which means 9/98 QCOM could be (assuming 30X trailing P/E, conservative) $46.5 , $60 or $70.... Boy, what a range... But, ofcourse this would be a very conservative estimate since from past history we can see that QCOM has always been valued by looking at future P/Es and not trailing P/E. Yet, I cannot understand why such a big diffirence exits in the analysts predictions? -Raj P.s: Heres something for the dreamers.... Assuming QCOM maintains the same rate of growth Then it would be wise to assume it may maintain the same trailing P/E ratio that it now has : 150X P/E Well, in that case assuming an earnings of $2.00 (median prediction)in 1998, the stock would then be at $300... :-) Well One can always dream.....
