Foolish Forecast: A Glance at Google Google's margins are a thing of beauty, and the upward trend they're on is even more stunning. Unfortunately, the valuation looks pretty darn amazing, too. The stock sells for 96 times trailing earnings and an only slightly more reasonable 84 times trailing free cash flow. mark for My Articles similar articles

Foolish Forecast: Simply CNS Analysts believe that CNS will grow at an annualized rate of 18% in the long term. That's tremendous, but perhaps not enough to justify its P/E ratio of 21, or its price-to-free cash flow ratio of 21. mark for My Articles similar articles

Foolish Forecast: Is Acxiom Just Spinning? Buying Acxiom looks like a better idea than betting against it. The company's trailing-12-month P/E of 42 may not look cheap, but its mammoth cash flows give the firm an ultra-cheap price-to-free-cash-flow ratio of 8. mark for My Articles similar articles

Foolish Forecast: Does 3M Spell Bingo? With 3M's projected earnings growth of 12% per annum over the next five years, you'd probably want its P/E of 19 and price-to-free cash flow ratio 17 to drop a bit before buying this one. mark for My Articles similar articles

Foolish Forecast: Sina Debarks Although Sina officially sports a pricey P/E of 28, the company currently trades for just a bit over 20 times its trailing free cash flow.
