Take a look at the blended growth rate for the last two quarters.
By intrinsic, I mean the rate of growth in the end user markets
Sunw targets.


I am not sure I still get it. Here are the numbers for the recent
quarters going back....

0.57
0.41
0.61
0.51
0.46
0.32

If I just look at last two (0.57-0.41)/0.41 gives me 39% but
I would not go on a limb and call that "growth rate" yet :-)

I still do not see what this "blended growth rate" of 15% is.

And I still do not understand "intrinsic" definition. My
definition while considering P/E is what shows up in the financial
numbers (actual or estimates).

The estimates and future outlook ofcourse is subject to change
and speculation...

Twister,
Using your logic about "intrinsic" growth rates, should we conclude that Microsoft will only grow at 15% since one of the markets it targets--the consumer market--grew at about that rate in 1997? (see: biz.yahoo.com )
Or is the business market growing so much faster? Or is your point about intrinsic growth rate not all that conclusive?
