Lifeway (LWAY)

OldPro, Since the revenue numbers for Q4-07 have been released, shouldn't the earnings also come out, after the usual 6 week delay? Or will the Q4 earnings be included only in the April release of full year 2007 results? That would suck. I think what the market is waiting for is those Q4-07 earnings numbers.

These are key because when you figure the stock valuation, if Q4 was a .04 cent quarter, projecting that rate of earnings ahead would make for a still sky high PE of 62 at the current $10 share price. Likewise, if the earning were .05 cents, you still get a very high PE of 50, and .06 cent would give a PE of 42, etc. As the market Watch analyst noted, Lifeway's valuation is still way up there, and a resumption of earnings growth is needed or the stock could have more downside. I'm figuring .04 cents doesn't help us much, but .05 cents could start a sustainable pps recovery.
