Those analysts were projecting $55 for FY2013 in October 2012. OMG, those estimates were from a whole year before FY13 earnings was announced? Please provide an URL as I have done, I find that people do not always remember correctly. If it was $55 it would not surprise me. After all, what was known at that time was annual earnings of: 2010 $15.15 2011 $27.68 2012 $44.15 Seems to me that $55 might well be a reasonable estimate for that period. The analysts' consensus estimate of $39.40 that I gave you was pretty much right on the button compared to the actual FY13 $39.75 as far as I am concerned. A WHOLE LOT closer than Ryan's assertion that "...the very real probability that their earnings will contract", that he offered without anything to back it up. I am against statements like he made because that is how rumors start, and a stock price will decrease. o~~~ O
