I said Next year estimate raised .03 to $1.43 in last 7 days which is found here: finance.yahoo.com Needham is not attributed to this estimate, and 2 analysts are shown giving a current year estimate. So to say I increased Needham's estimate is misleading. The Yahoo link also shows EPS estimates for "current year" rising from $1.19 (about when I first posted) to $1.21 now, so anyone that would've checked that would've seen it. In my first post on KTEC, Jan. 15, I used the "next year's estimate" of $1.40 in my fair value calculation: Company: KTEC Date: 1/12/04 Next year's expected earnings: $1.40 Estimated EPS growth rate: 15 P/E maximum used for estimate: 15 Graham Fair Value: $44.35 Current Price: $16.55 $ difference: $27.80 Percent Growth to Fair Value: 167.9% In my last post I said the current Briefing.com link does not show any detail, meaning it doesn't clarify whether Needham meant $1.40 for this year or next year. biz.yahoo.com Yet my post does say 2004, which I had found in my analysis in early January and can't find now. Perhaps the Needham announcement was misleading or I read it wrong. I stand by my analysis, but if "2004" was incorrectly given in the news item or interpreted to mean "next year" I apologize.
