Hrm, sounds like V Winner just said V will reach 300, even though in the same post he denied it.

Wez, you have a point. I don't think there is a standard when reporting shares outstanding on these free web sites. And indeed there must be a lot of confused people out there, myself one of them. Google's data is definitely misleading. It looks like yahoo finance has something closer to reality.

It also depends on each individual company, on how they divvy up and classify their own shares, which can make comparisons a bit more difficult.

Wez, you are just splitting hairs, but MoneyGuru's original point is meaningless anyway (his claim about V not having EPS is just wrong). MC has much fewer shares but it has a much higher price. They could easily have a stock split to increase the number of shares and bring the price down closer to V's range.

But that article is a very good analysis. V is fairly valued at about $40, compared to MC. This makes sense as that is what the IPO priced it around. The premium on the stock right now is due mostly to hype. We won't know the true growth picture for a few months until we get more useful data.

Um, Wez, your link proved MoneyGuru right.
