And if they’re only up 75%, the stock will dive like nobody’s business.
again:
hey MDN,
can we please stop listing reports that compare today’s earnings and revenue to last year’s outdated GAAP report (with smeared out iPhone accounting), without pointing out the invalid comparison ?
last year’s restated earnings (comparable with today’s) were $2.01 per share, revenue was 9.7B$.
today’s earnings (out in 10 minutes) will need no artificial push-up.
EPS of $3.11 is 130% larger than last years $1.35. Would it not be great if the stock could grow as fast as the earnings per share. The stock is only up about 60%.
