<prompt> Human: This might be dumb, but I just need it laid out for me. Possibly shouldve shot for moronic monday.  <response>: There are a lot of concepts going on here, but Ill try to answer:1 Target prices dont really mean much. Thats someones guess at what the price will be.2 EPS are earnings per share. But, if those earnings are kept as cash, then they will not be distributed to you. This may already be factored in to the price of the stock. If it has a 4share dividend payout, then thats different, and the will be paid out. In the scenario that the stock does go up 6, and you get a 4 dividend, then yes, you will earn a pre-tax 10 return.
