Hi Bob,

Here's the "official" definition of the EPS ranking from DGO:

EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) RATING:
One of the five Investor's Business Daily SmartSelectT Corporate =
Ratings, this is a proprietary formula that incorporates the percentage =
change in the last two quarters' earnings versus the same quarters a =
year earlier,  the 5-year growth rate and the earnings stability. All =
components are separately rated and weighted. The result is compared to =
all stocks in the database, rated with a value of 99 (highest) to 1 =
(lowest). An EPS Rating of 90 means the company produced earnings =
greater than 90 percent of all companies in the database."

  Tom:

  It does seem that recent earnings and projected earnings year over =
year are
  not up to standards for CANSLIM.  Q: How does this stock get a 92 for =
EPS
  from the IBD tables?  Does the EPS rating weigh the 3-5 year earnings =
growth
  more heavily than recent earnings growth?
