<edited>Hi Bill - that's interesting. Even if we assume the share price was $44 at the time when Morningstar article was first published, it was still only 24x, if $3B and 1.66B shares outstanding. I wonder where the 40x number comes from. I must confess I have accepted the Morningstar number w/o checking. Even if it is based on the diluted basis, going from 24x to 40x seems to quite a stretch. Anyone has any idea? p.s. Morningstar seems to derive the cash flow number when the stock was around $40 quicktake.morningstar.com best, Bosco
