Analysts per First Call have upped BORL's present q's estimates (from 0.05 to 0.09 - probably excluding VSGNs numbers): Love the 0% growth rate forecast below. Someone's asleep at the wheel. 30% therefore should be the "median" (1 forecast). They also upped the full year forecast quite smartly. Now if only they would correct the FY dates! --- FIRST CALL EARNINGS ESTIMATES BORL Borland International 02/02/98 Industry: Software SIC: 7372 Latest Price: $7.88 1998 P/E: 39.4 Analyst Recommendation: 1.5 QTR QTR FY FY Mar 98 Jun 98 Mar 98 Mar 99 --- --- -- -- CURRENT MEAN EPS 0.09 - 0.20 0.45 Number of Brokers 2 0 2 2 Median 0.09 - 0.20 0.45 Standard Deviation 0.01 - 0.02 0.05 Current High 0.09 - 0.22 0.50 Current Low 0.08 - 0.18 0.40 Year Ago EPS -0.52A 0.00A -1.85A 0.20 Current vs. Year Ago Change 117% - 111% 125% Report Date wk/Apr 29 wk/Jul 22 wk/Apr 29 - EARNINGS ESTIMATE REVISION MOMENTUM Up Revisions last 7 days 2 0 2 2 Up Revisions last 30 days 2 0 2 2 Down Revisions last 7 days 0 0 0 0 Down Revisions last 30 days 0 0 0 0 EARNINGS ESTIMATES CONSENSUS TRENDS Current Mean 0.09 - 0.20 0.45 7-days ago Mean 0.05 0.07 0.11 0.32 30-days ago Mean 0.05 0.07 0.11 0.32 60-days ago Mean 0.05 0.07 0.11 0.32 90-days ago Mean 0.05 0.07 0.11 0.32 COMPARATIVE ESTIMATES AND TRENDS Industry - Software 75.03 72.95 270.05 328.08 Current vs. Year Ago Change 19% 20% 22% 21% Sector - TECHNOLOGY 8.71 10.31 36.35 45.15 Current vs. Year Ago Change 5% 13% 14% 24% WSJ/DJ US Index 10.54 11.86 43.42 49.60 Current vs. Year Ago Change 6% 11% 10% 14% Ratios Relative To: Company Industry Sector WSJ/DJ P/E on 1998 Cal Yr Mean 20.2 34.17 22.83 19.69 PEG on 1998 Cal Yr Mean 1.35 1.58 1.28 1.59 RECOMMENDATION AND GROWTH RATES RECOMMENDATIONS LONG TERM GROWTH RATES Current Mean 1.5 Next 5 yrs - Median 15% Number of Brokers 2 Number of Brokers 14 Industry Recommendation: 2.1 Industry Growth Rate: 22% 7-days ago Mean 1.5 Next 5 yrs - High 30% 30-days ago Mean 1.5 Next 5 yrs - Low 0% 60-days ago Mean 1.5 Last 5 Years NM 90-days ago Mean 1.5 Diff. from Industry +0.6 Rel. to Industry 0.7 Diff. from Sector +0.5 Rel. to Sector 0.8 Diff. from WSJ/DJ US +0.7 Rel. to WSJ/DJ US 1.2 Transmitted: 02/03/98 10:39 (E_BORL) ---
