[T1]Still need to troubleshoot some software issues. Historical sales growth has been huge, as has historical EPS growth. The pdf of the SSG does not show it, but I used a conservative projection assuming a largecap company like this couldn’t maintain that level (15% sales, 12.5 % EPS). Keeping with a conservative approach, I also used the average PEs for the price zones.

[T2]Something weird going on with the pdf generator. Despite what the chart shows, I projected future sales at 13.2% and EPS as 1% to be very conservative and assuming this industry’s challenges would prevent a lot of distributions of share earnings in the near future. The resulting analysis is still consistent despite the 0% showing on the first page of the pdf. Because of the 2002 aberration year, I backed the average PE highs and lows down to averages of the remaining years for a conservative projection. I went further and used the average 5-year low price to maintain a conservative projection.

[T3]Again, projections are not zero, they are each 15% for sales and EPS. Because of the massive investment/restructuring of WAG, I used a low PE for the high and the lowest price current dividends will support to forecast the zones.
