<But to answer your question, trailing p/e is the only real number.>

If your making investment decisions on trailing p/e's, the train will leave you at the station. Good luck!

Ratan, >>I have seen cos. report lower than expected and their stock takes off. And I have seen cos. report better than expected and their stock gets killed (it may go up for a day or 2).

And of course the reason for unnatural market response to an earnings report as you describe above is explained by that company's prospects, whether they are shabby or spectacular, as perceived by the market. Its future p/e... Its growth rate, etc.
