Price targets are often raised when they are hit early. Wait and see.

After missing the third quarter numbers, I am sure there is a bit of nervousness on those 16 cent estimates for the 4th quarter. If they can hit those numbers, or just make a statement that they are comfortable with those numbers, then you will see a lot of targets upgraded. The CEO certainly had the opportunity to caution the analysts during the conference call, but it doesn't appear as though he felt that was necessary.
