Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from AEO's reported EPS growth of -0.5% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $1.09
- Implied price
- $22.84
- Return from $17.71
- 5.2% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $11.35 — -35.9% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 | 27 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -10.5% | -11.5% | -8.2% | -5.4% | -2.8% | -0.5% |
| -5.5% | -6.6% | -3.1% | -0.1% | 2.6% | 5.1% |
| -0.5% | -1.6% | 2.0% | 5.2% | 8.1% | 10.6% |
| 4.5% | 3.3% | 7.1% | 10.5% | 13.5% | 16.2% |
| 9.5% | 8.3% | 12.3% | 15.8% | 18.9% | 21.8% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.
