Very briefly, here's my take on them:

Price: 732p

Last Yr This Yr Next Yr
EPS 47.04 47.39 55.58
PE 15.6 15.4 13.2
Growth 0.7% 17.3%

Sector PE is about 17, so still on a discount.

Div Yd of 2.7%, which is OK.

Regarding the business, govt will keep funding more educational spending, so this should pick when school boards get their heads around it all.

All the usual concerns about consumers stopping spending (although the sub-prime bit of Findel doesn't care about interest rates or possible house price weakness).

Apart from that, the prospect of a de-merger could be interesting. At least it would create a few headlines.
