Remember, these are just wild-ass guesses by a few smart spreadsheet wizards. Little justification was provided for these figures and the analysts further waffled on their projections by noting that the figures are "demonstrative only" and were not used for earnings estimates for the companies involved.
Still, these are figures to make you go "hmm."
