The table in this header post has taken on a new format.
The new format adds PS ratios and growth rates.
It also uses a four quarter forward timescale for calculating forward earnings, regardless of actual company year end date.
Here are the figures for the top 20 weighted NDX stocks as of 04/16/2002

PE = Price:Earnings ratio at end of 1st calendar quarter 2003
PS = Price:Sales ratio at end of 1st calendar quarter 2003
E-Gro = Earnings growth for yr ended 1st calendar quarter 2003 compared to prior yr
S-Gro = Sales growth for yr ended 1st calendar quarter 2003 compared to prior yr
A-Gro = Concensus analyst estimate for 5 yr earnings growth rate
*** note for VRTS: VRTS has lowered guidance 04/16. This lowered guidance has not made it into all analyst estimates yet so the earnings and revs guidance is likely to come down.
All figures are derived from published analyst pro forma estimates
I have made no attempt to influence the figures with my own views or expectations
Figures for the rest of the top 60 NDX 100 stocks will follow. Then a weighted PE and PS for the index can be calculated. |
