If you take reported earnings, estimate $77.90, for a P-E ratio of 16.15, EY of 6.19% If you take core earnings estimate $72.57, P-E ratio 17.33, earnings yield 5.77%

Siegel 13 Is Updating Essential to indexed Returns? n Richard Foster and Sarah Kaplan from McKinsey & Co, in their 2001 book, Creative Destruction state (p. 28): n “New companies generate higher levels of total return to shareholders than do the older survivors. …. For example if the S&P 500 were today made up of only those companies that were on the list when it was formed in 1957, the overall performance would have been significantly less.”

Quotation from Foster and Kaplan’s Creative Destruction : p. 9 n “McKinsey’s long-term studies of corporate birth, survival, and death in America clearly show that the corporate equivalent of El Dorado, the golden company that continually performs better than the markets, has never existed (emphasis theirs).
