You may want to read this site noted below. They explain why some analysts valuations aren't always right. Here is what they say analysts use:

The EPS number that most analysts use is the pro forma EPS. To compute this number, use the net income that excludes any one-time gains or losses and excludes any non-cash expenses like stock options or amortization of goodwill. Then divide this number by the number of fully diluted shares outstanding. You can easily find historical EPS figures and to see forecasts for the next 1-2 years by visiting free financial sites such as Yahoo Finance (enter the ticker and then click on "estimates").
