Q: I wished I'd asked this a couple weeks ago when I first came across this. NFI profile on 5i and TMX Money shows EPS last 12 months as $4.00. The company numbers are $2.75, y/e 2017=$3.06 and y/e 2016 $2.10. Can you shed any light on this discrepancy?
Expected EPS today I have $0.85. What do you have?

In late February my CIBC daily TA report warned that NFI could drop down to the $26.75 to $28.25 level in about a month or so. Do you have any other TA reports to support that may be this is where this name is heading? Thanks.
