LTM EPS OF $104 is the second highest value ever and a mere 1.8% lower than the record. But those numbers will likely soon be relegated to obscurity as each of the next 6 quarters are projected to post new record highs maxing out above $132.
Shall I go on?
That is a false comparison. Everything you quoted is non-GAAP.
Need I say more.
LOL.
False. All numbers are "as reported" a.k.a. GAAP.
