Onyx -

Share stats can be taken from Commsec. I would be sceptical of info provided here. I copied the info in but formatting might be a bit off.

This shows that the 08 year had Earnings per Share of 75.8. PE ratios seem to be anywhere from 14 - 18.9 in recent years.

Commsec is forecasting EPS of 42.1 for 05/10 year and 56.2 for 05/11 which I think are a bit pessimistic as housing is starting to recover. But on avg PE ratios this would be 5.89 to 7.95 for 05/10 and 7.86 to 10.62 for 05/11.

Bear in mind that ALS hit $15 not that long ago. I believe underpriced.
