People: It is not that difficult. LU's four quarters in a given year are not equal contributors to earnings. Also, LU has had several charges to earnings in the last year or so. On-line generated numbers are misleading. See link below. Know what you are buying!

Next quarter shows a 78.79% decrease because the current quarter is so high. Telcos buy a lot of equipment in 4th calendar quarters and very little in first calendar quarters.
