re: consensus forecasts So what your missing there is EPS surprise. Does the company have a history of surprising the market? Yes it does by an average of 2.83% over the last 8 yrs and that takes into account the good and bad years. You are also quoting the median range of forecasted EPS growth for 2006 of 13.3% when the forecasted high range is 24.3% plus the 2.83% surprise rate means a present value EPS possible growth rate of 27.13% for year. If you do an analysis that values the share at $64.31. However we are just talking about earnings, which is fine but profit is more important and it looks like dyno's profit has been understated plus the global infrastrure market (in particular China) is strong and MBL is well poised to take advantage of it.
