Help me out here ... I'm inexperienced and have bought and sold a few stocks because I liked the companies / products or because SI'ers enthused. Bought SUNW at 68 and got reamed ... So, time to go to school :- earningswhispers.com shows trailing 12 mo. earnings at $1.02. At $105 ( last close ), this gives trailing 12 mo. P/E of 103. Q1 results say eps $0.65 ( or $0.58 all inclusive ) with revenue growth to continue - so lets say 1999 eps ~ $2.60. By my arithmetic, the projected P/E just fell from 103 trailing to ~ 40 projected. Shouldn't the price be going UP instead of DOWN ? What am I missing ?
