The company also increased its dividend last week informing me that management sees strength in the future of the company's fundamentals. I believe the analysts have this one wrong as they estimate little or no growth in the price of the stock. With earnings estimated at $4.51 next year and projecting a P/E ratio of 20, this could be a $90 stock.
