Mickey and a few others, I think you are erroneously assuming that Wall Street will consider ONE or TWO time payments as part of any p/e analysis used to create a target stock price. As evidencing by our new analyst, the correct p/e analysis involves looking at normalized earnings. This is not to say that the one or two large payments will be ignored, but they cannot support the p/e formula you suggest. Remember, a proper p/e price target analysis considers future earnings, and those one time payments are not future earnings (and, before you say it, I understand that 3G may bring future earnings to that level, but at this time we have no evidence when that will occur and the amount of money associated therewith)
