Earnings should grow at 11% which is reasonable given they have been growth at over 20% for the last 25 years, and over 28% the last 5 years. Their current ration is 3.1 while their industry average is 2.0. ROE has never been lower than 20%. They have been able to increase book value at an annual average of 23% over the last 10 years. Seems like they are a stable company and the 11% EPS growth rate is quite reasonable. Assuming they trade at their average P/E in 10 years they should have a stock price of about $232 and would have earned another $18 in dividend for a total of $250 a share. With a current price of $52 a share an average annual return over 17% is probable.          Value Investing Forum Forum Index -> Value Stock Picks Page 1 of 1 Search Engine Indexer BlastInvest @2005 p h p B B © 2001, 2002 p h p B B Group
