1A – 5 year EPS growth (as a percentage) and 2 yr EPS/Sales Estimates- Yahoo – There are four useful data items on the page this link provides.  
1) The Analysts Consensus Estimate (ACE) EPS growth in the next 5 years as a percentage.
	2)  Next two quarters of EPS and Sales estimates.
	3)  Next two years of EQP and Sales estimates.
	4)  PEG ratio for the company, industry, and sector.
I normally use the growth percentage as a limit factor.  After establishing the EPS growth for the next 5 years, I look to see if the Analysts Consensus Estimate (ACE) is greater than my estimate.  I like to project a little less than the analyst estimates.  The next two quarters data can be inserted as actual data to determine if the estimated data continues the current trend.  Toolkit 6 allows the next five years data to be entered to help see the longer trend.  Only two years future data are available on Yahoo.  Use the link to NASDAQ.com below for additional yearly estimates.
