English Bus/Financial Finance (general) Equity Research

I do apologize if you already get this question, I mistakenly posted it on the French board and tried to change the language pair, not sure I've been successful :-)

I have to deal with the following table:

XXX EPS (adj for cons) 2005e from €2.52 to €2.57
2006e from €2.77 to €2.6€44
XXX Price Target From €45 to €44

YYY EPS (adj for cons) 2005e from €4.64 to €4.83
2006e from €4.19 to €4.69
YYY Price Target - From €57 to €53

XXX and YYY are the two shares to be compared.

I am assuming that adj for cons means "adjusted for consolidation" - Am I right? Any reference would be greatly appreciated.

What does the "e" at the end of 2005 or 2006 stand for?

Ooops, I realize I asked two Questions!

Thanks in advance for your help
