[To SteveG] From Morning Star: Quarterly Results 3Q1997 2Q1997 1Q1997 4Q1996 ...................................................................... EPS 8.56 1.26 0.66 -0.15 Data as of 10/31/97 Added up this gives 4 quarters trailing earnings of $10.63 Divided by 2 for the stock split gives $5.315. Divinding into the current stock price of ca. $46.00 gives a P/E of ca. 8.8 Where do you get your information for a P/E > 20??? Scott.

[To Scott Moody <g>] <Where do you get your information for a P/E > 20???> I referenced this within my posts: Message 2882566 I think you may have misread Morningstar's 3Q97. TXN made $1.20 for the quarter (vs. a FC consensus expectation of $1.14) on revenues of $2.5B. Definitely NOT your stated $8.56.
