Yahoo finance has a forward PE of 6.66 and I would like to know how they came up with this number (and I don't think this is why Icahn bought in). Back of the napkin math:
$11.38b market cap/6.66 = $1.7b net earning per year = $430m per quarter. This means after taking out cost of goods sold, selling general and administrative costs and depreciation, which are costs they will always I, they are not allowed to incur any further expense including interest payment. This is nuts.
Maybe they will have additional (big) revenue sources but I didn't see any
