John,

Let me first start by saying that I frequently
find Zack's info to be highly suspect.

I think you are off by a year on the 2.86.

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 FY
99 NA NA NA NA 2.86E
98 0.55 0.77E 0.51E 0.40E 2.53E
97 0.17 0.64 0.48 0.48 1.76

As you can see the quarterly numbers for 98 don't add up
to 2.53 even if you include the one time gain in Q1
(i.e. 55+22=77).

Does anyone have the First Call estimates??

FF

Jon you might want to get a better reporting service than you have, also a better chart service also,LOL... Brian Lempel checked Zacks also and he confirmed what i said was correct... Reread post #8811. Jon once again your wrong on two counts, Zacks plus your bullish outlook on this stock.... Also you were wrong about me and Vanni being the same person. So far your 0 for 3 Jon.... It can only go up from here!! Also i would like an apology for calling me a liar about Zacks!!

Upon further inspection I have come to this conclusion: Zack's is totally screwed-up!

In their quarterly income statement section, they show the following historical EPS:

3/97 .48
6/97 .55
9/97 .74

In their EPS history section, they show the following historical EPS:

3/97 .48
6/97 .48
9/97 .55

In their "surpise history" section they show the following historical EPS:

3/97 (not shown)
6/97 .47
9.97 .55

Per the actual income statements from:

creaf.com

3/97 .48
6/97 .55
9/97 .55

So, it appears that Zack's has a typo in their EPS History and Surprise History sections for 6/97. They incorrectly show .48, but correctly show .55 in their quarterly income section.

Creative should, of course, contact Zack's immediately to have this corrected.
