Analysts estimate ATVI to ring in $0.31 for the 4th quarter.
The past 9 months, ATVI earned $6.6 million (Not the $7.2 million I posted earlier...forgot tax liability) and 12 month total of $10.9 million for a fully diluted EPS of about $0.54 per share and a P/E of about 26. If they can make $0.31, that brings EPS to $0.64 and a current P/E of 22.

P/E: ATVI=26
ERTS=32
EIDSY=21
MSFT=54
THQI=33
MWY=17.5

ATVI is not dirt cheap on a valuation basis, but favorably valued compared to its peer group.
