Yet more upward earnings revisions. nasdaq.com I believe this is the second IBES upward revision to the consensus in the last week. Current-quarter consensus is now 14.1 cents; closing in fast on my personal 15-cent estimate. If both IBES and First Call converge on 15 cents, I'm going to raise my target a penny or so - I'm convinced the company goal is back to the good 'ol days . . . manage expectations properly to exceed them by just a bit. The high (too high, IMHO) estimate remains at $0.21, but the low is now $0.08 instead of $0.07 (that doesn't necessarily mean a 1-cent increase by that analyst - the $0.07 guy may have gone to 9 or 10 cents, leaving a different guy at the bottom. Does anyone have access to specific "which analyst is saying what" data?). Future quarters and annual numbers seem to be up a bit too in this latest report. I don't keep written histories on any of these these, so can't say for sure how much they've changed.
