For my stock study of CRAI, I focused on the years since 2001 as being more representative of the company's current and future expected performance, and projected 18% growth over the next couple of years. This would make EPS in five years about $5.22. At a projected high PE of 25.5 and a low projected PE of 11.4, the expected high and low prices in 5 years would be $133.10 and $35.00, respectively. From the 12/31 price of $52.38, the stock is a Buy with an U/D ratio of 4.6:1 and a projected total return of 20.5%.
