Looks like you have operating earnings P/E posted there. 9.28 9.90 10.79 11.61 Column I from the Excel data dump at www2.standardandpoors.com <<S&P 500 Earnings (Operating, As Reported & Core) and Estimate Report, includes Divisors and Aggregates, Core Breakdown, and Dividends, click here >> OTOH, the earnings estimates and P/E listed there are from the same folks that passed out AAA ratings like Halloween candy, and about as random and as good for you. OPER EARNS QUARTER PRICE PER SHR END (ests are bottom up) ESTIMATES 12/31/2009 24.93 09/30/2009 23.49 06/30/2009 22.60 03/31/2009 20.83 12/31/2008 19.17 09/30/2008 (91% actual) 1166.36 16.36 ACTUALS 06/30/2008 1280.00 17.02 03/31/2008 1322.70 16.62 12/31/2007 1468.36 15.22 09/30/2007 1526.75 20.87 06/30/2007 1503.35 24.06 03/31/2007 1420.86 22.39 12/31/2006 1418.30 21.99 09/30/2006 1335.85 23.03 06/30/2006 1270.20 21.95 Oh, yes, I believe that 2009 earnings will exceed 2007 and 2008 was just a case of loose change falling through the cracks.
