Sector, my point is if no one knows what concensus the CFO is comfortable with, then his claim is meaningless. If he meant to say comfortable with $1.15, then the EPS is only growing 10% (1.05 -> 1.15), fair value: $11.5; if he meant $1.45, then EPS grows 40%, fair value: $46. Am I clear?

In ASND's current position, the CFO knows it's better to say nothing
if he is not almost CERTAIN (and I hesitated on the 'almost') they
can make those numbers. I still find the fact he said that astounding.


...unless of course it's designed to prop up ASND shareprice solely
for negotiating a higher takeout price. Yeah, sure, I'm reaching
here. That's about the only thing that get's me throught these
dog days of December, though.
