Part II of the Merrill Lynch "Initial Opinion", the numbers: Estimated 1997A 1998E 1999E EPS $1.37 $1.90-$1.95 $2.10-$2.30 P/E 27.6x 19.7x 17.2x EPS Change (YoY) 40.5% 14.3% Concensus EPS $1.93 $2.32 So, are friends at ML are pretty close to the street concensus EPS, with some wiggle room. Less optimistic on 1999E, but know to be conservative. What I really like is the 25, 27 and 40.5% growth numbers in their report and in the above numbers. See part I for the related text highlights (post number 3693). Glad to be here, for now, Dennis
