EPS and EPS growth are more significant drivers of stock price for companies producing real earnings than revenue and revenue growth. Note that revenue growth per share is not as anemic as revenue growth overall. It is also worth noting that recent lags in revenue growth have been connected to getting out of less profitable businesses. IMHO this was a smart move. Scott

Last quarters 300 million in income(albeit a fraction) growth was not from a more favorable tax rate or buybacks. Buybacks only effect per share figures.
And isn't a lower tax rates an effect of good management? i.e. moving production and negotiating better deals.
