Here sre CA's histirical numbers and new earning estimate(after today's downgrades and earning estimate cuts.) CA 93-4 94-5 95-6 96-7 97-8 98-9 99-0 Jun $0.05 $0.12 $0.15 $0.21 $0.28 $0.34 $0.36e Sep $0.15 $0.23 $0.30 $0.39 $0.48 $0.50e $0.64e Dec $0.21 $0.31 $0.40 $0.50 $0.60 $0.62e $0.72e Mar $0.28 $0.38 $0.47 $0.60 $0.75 $0.78e $0.92e Year $0.69 $1.04 $1.32 $1.70 $2.11 $2.24e $2.64e Yr./Yr. n/a 50.7% 26.9% 28.8% 24.1% 6.2%e 17.9%e Historical P/E Range: High 26 28 31 31 30 30 Low 14 14 18 14 22 17 As of close today (~$39), both the traling P/E ($39/$2.17 = 18) and the forward P/E ($39/$2.26 = 17.3) are near the low end of its historical P/E range. So the down side risk is limited, but maybe a dead money for a few quarters. Anyone can provide some TA insights? It seems $37 - 36 range offers stronge support today. Thanks, XyZ
