I expect their sales growth to be negative, projecting the downtrend in revenue growth forward from the last 2 quarters, as measured year over year. They managed 8.5% EPS growth last quarter, but that growth has been slipping for 2 straight quarters, and taken with the expected decline in revenue, there's no way that this next quarter won't be below 8.5%. Based on the drop in revenue growth last quarter from nearly 9% to just under 0%, and the corresponding drop on EPS growth, I'd expect near to zero or low single digit growth for the next quarter. At no growth whats this thing worth....book value? I don't know why but last time they had negative growth, it never went below $85.
