The following estimates are from Exhibit 12 of “The Director’s Report” (pdf) of October 17, 2014, and represent an aggregation of individual S&P500 component “bottom up” analyst forecasts:

$118.05/share
Year 2015 estimate:
$132.06/share
Year 2016 estimate:
$147.08/share
Year 2017 estimate:
$138.00/share
