Somebody help me out on this one. The WSJ article not withstanding, Q's book-to-bill ratio was stated to be 1.7:1. That meant that new orders were 70% higher than current shipments. All else being the same (which of course it won't due to cost/price shifts and differing product mixes), if that extra 70% came in this quarter, we would be looking at 1.7 x $0.41/share (net of non-recurring items), or about $0.70/share. Can somebody add to the analysis? Thank you.
