Anirban,
Thanks for your feedback.
You have a good eye and fiscal sense. GBX’s EPS for 2014 should be $3.44, not $0.44. My computer worksheet table shows 3.44, but I must have deleted the 3 digit, when realigning table numbers to properly display on the TMF format.
In one of my referenced past posts, I mentioned that Carl Icahn’s American Railcar Industries Inc. (ARII) attempted to acquire competitor Greenbrier Companies (GBX). Billionaire Icahn actually tried twice in 2008 and 2012.
Here’s an interesting read and look back.

GBX rejected his offer, and Icahn sold off over 65% of his stake, dropping his ownership of the rail car company from 9.9% to 3.4%.
