A look at NT's Financials earnings highlights...actual siliconinvestor.com Cleary, NT reports a negative eps. or a massive loss per share. NT is on pace to report nearly $1 loss per share this year. 1997 was the last year that NT report actual positive earnings share. Income for Primary EPS -2,061,000,000 for 9 MONTHS ENDING 9/30/00 siliconinvestor.com Cash flow...negative net change in cash for the last 2 years. siliconinvestor.com Look at the profile on NT at yahoo. biz.yahoo.com shows a -$0.65 earnings per share. Price/Earnings ratio listed as N/A. I don't see how NT could have a PEG ratio when they have no earnings. This is a subject that I have brought up many times. I believe that for some reason NT is reported on many websites as having earnings. Check the SEC filings. They are report a net loss. Analysts often are quoted as saying that NT has a p/e of near 50 or what ever...It's totally false. I think these site and analysts open themselves up to lawsuits when they report NT to have a p/e. Clearly they are talking about operating earnings and are misrepresenting the facts. If I were a NT shareholder I would consider getting involved in a class action suit against these people that constantly report NT to have earnings when they don't. I believe that many shareholders have bought NT believing they report positive earnings. This is not the case. As listed in the yahoo profile...NT reports loss 1.89 billion dollars a year. This information if reported properly would surely surprise many shareholders. I believe the facts are misrepresented and often people buy NT shares on this false information. look no further then the link below: siliconinvestor.com P/E...0.00 EPS -0.65 EPS growth rate N/A (they are not growing earnings right now, sorry) Again, look at the trend in EPS. siliconinvestor.com Earnings per share 1997 $0.390 1998 $-0.565 1999 $-0.131 2000 $-0.720 (with one more quarter left) Bambs
