Mike,

Run rate's definition as I understand it is four times the most recent quarterly earnings. Using the pro forma earnings of $1.20, that would make the run rate $4.80. Not trying to be nit picky, but want to make sure we're on the same page...

Sorry! I was thinking per quarter, pre split when I wrote the post (but did use the correct value in my calculation).

Re...

"and even assuming an abruptly attenuated revenue growth rate to 35%/yr... and assuming a PEG ratio expansion from the current .77 to only one of 1.91 (in five years), one concludes that the share price is likely to reach at least $2.15 within two years."

...the table below better conveys those assumptions and results:

Year 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004
Rev Gr 35% 35% 35% 35% 35% 35%
Rev run m $3.73 $5.03 $6.80 $9.18 $12.39 $16.72
EPS Gr 55% 35% 35% 35% 35% 35%
PEG 0.77 0.99 1.22 1.45 1.68 1.91
EPS run $2.40 $3.72 $5.02 $6.78 $9.15 $12.36
Net Mar 9.3% 10.7% 10.7% 10.7% 10.7% 10.7%
P/E 42 35 43 51 59 67
Pr/Shr $101 $129 $215 $345 $539 $826
Pr/Sls 3.9 3.7 4.6 5.4 6.3 7.1
Shrs m 145 145 145 145 145 145
Cap m 14.61 18.72 31.09 49.83 77.88 119.45

I'm sure you don't think the share price will be $2.15

Right again!! My hope is that the actual numbers will look more like this...

Yr 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004

I was experimenting with NZ sherry when working up this spreadsheet, so more scrutiny is welcome.;)
