My guess: eps 55 cents, revenues 300.8 million, closing price $22.875.

Can't understand First Call consensus of only $0.48 ... -- CREAF has had a profit margin around 19% of late (after removing special charges and gains) -- Voodoo II was brilliantly executed and should help revenues vs last year (made $282.8 M in Q3 97) ??? to get 0.48 in EPS with 19% margin, need revenues to go down to only $243 million (96 M shares assumed) ??? to get 0.48 in EPS with $300 M revenues, need the profit margin to drop to 15% ===> both these scenarios seem unplausible, given the recent history of the company and the anecdotal product sales information My guesses: $295 M in revenues 0.55 EPS (assumes 18% profit margin) As for the price before earnings, it's anyone's guess, but I'll opt for Wall Street continuing to be clueless: 23 1/8 close on 4/28 The more important number is the close on 4/29 or 4/30. jg
