This is my guess. If we have an exceptional Q3 & Q4, the profit sharing pot could push $1 bln. Might be a Wall Street psychological thing. My other guess would be some kind of tax advantage to paying out this year rather than next. Either way I'm ok with it and I will look forward to a few dollars extra in Oct.
