So, they're dropping because they're expecting to make around $10 EPS for the next 3 quarters, but then they'll rise 50% because the expectation is for $15 for Q1 of next year, right? You do realize that Q1 includes holiday sales, which is why it is generally much higher than the rest of the year, right? Last year, after Q1 earnings were released, the share price went on to move from $420 or so, up to a high of $705, and they were then expecting the same, about $10 / quarter for Q2-Q4. So, no offense, but this whole $10 EPS argument doesn't seem to hold much weight.
