I think everyone on APC agrees that the company doesn't want to pay it when it works for us. Wall Street can't bear the thought that we're getting a SHARE of the profits. Not the profits: a share. File that under "total disregard for us". That's not in question. So yes, if it's good, they don't want to pay it.
There is also no question that HOW good it's going to be is speculative.
Carl was making the point that PS expectations are confirmed by the stock price. If so, charting the stick price over a few years would suggest PS has peaked, especially considering buybacks and dividends meant to prop it.
I think notEnuf is probably more correct in disregarding stock price in his approach.
