SDL Price Target: What's the best guess for the stock price in 1-2 years: Investors fix targets for most stocks by estimating future earnings per share and then applying a price-to-earnings "multiple", also known as the P/E ratio. Companies with the most consistent earnings history or strongest growth prospects receive the highest P/E multiples. We calculate price targets for the current and next fiscal year by applying the stock's current multiple to the average professional analyst's estimate. Valuation using SDL's current multiple (P/E): Fiscal Year Est Low/High Price Range Avg. Est. Price % Change for Average Dec-00 $850.60-$1,182.33 $1,046.24 136.54% Dec-01 $1,190.84-$1,718.21 $1,403.49 217.31%

I know they are very different companies with very different circumstances but this call for $570 gives me the willies. Reminds me of a call for qcom $1000 a few months ago. My exact thoughts when I read that. However, if you multiply JDSU's closing price of 135 X 3.8, it's not such a stretch. Admittedly, JDSU's being added to the S&P500 has skewed everything. Okay, back on terra firma, a glance at upcoming earnings: Monday --- AVNX Tuesday --- NT Wednesday --- JDSU and NUFO Thursday --- ALA In addition, on Thursday we have the official S&P add and Corvis's IPO pricing: lightreading.com In the interim, it's a clear sunny day here in Del Mar --- the beaches were filling up at 9:00 when I headed out for coffee --- and if I get my chores done, I'll go to Baja tomorrow where it's a lot quieter. Have a great week-end! Pat

Amazing what you learn by reading Barrons. This week's issue has SDL headquartered in Canada. :) interactive.wsj.com@6.cgi?mfmuse/text/barrons/data/SB964219740611276900.djm/&NVP=&template=atlas-srch-searchrecent-nf.tmpl&form=atlas-srch-searchrecent-nf.html&from-and=AND&to-and=AND&sort=Article-Doc-Date+desc&qand=&bool_query=sdli&dbname=%26name1%3Ddbname%26name2%3Ddbname%26name3%3Ddbname%26period%3D%3A720&location=article&HI= Nor is it any coincidence that companies such as JDS Uniphase, SDL and Nortel Networks, who are leaders in the engineering-intensive business of optical networking, are based in Canada, which has a very liberal immigration policy when it comes to skilled technology workers. A natural U.S. response would be to similarly relax immigration policy. It's either that or run the risk of losing competitiveness and a big chunk of the ever-expanding technology tax base. . . .
