But how many fractions of a percent of their revenue does this really represent?
465M / (EPS of 1.57 * 534.91M shares) = .5537
In your example, if you legally earned $900MM and then robbed a bank for $100MM, would you be fine if the fine was $500MM when caught?
Unless the idea is that Epi will all of sudden become affordable like it used to be.
A more correct analogy, is that if you make $90K/year at your job, you rob a bank for $10K, you are then are fined $55K.
I'm a cynic and most of the time lawsuits penalizing companies are a joke, but this one is better than most.
The problem I have with this is that companies don't make unethical decisions, people do, and the people who made this unethical decision will probably see feel very little of the fine. Maybe they'll get fired, but they'll still walk away with massive amounts of pay and probably a contractually obligated bonus and severance.
