Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from ARCC's reported EPS growth of -1.3% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $1.74
- Implied price
- $19.15
- Return from $18.86
- 0.3% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $9.52 — -49.5% 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 | 7 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 15 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -11.3% | -17.7% | -13.4% | -9.9% | -6.8% | -4.1% |
| -6.3% | -13.0% | -8.5% | -4.8% | -1.5% | 1.3% |
| -1.3% | -8.4% | -3.6% | 0.3% | 3.7% | 6.7% |
| 3.7% | -3.7% | 1.2% | 5.4% | 9.0% | 12.1% |
| 8.7% | 0.9% | 6.1% | 10.5% | 14.2% | 17.5% |
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.

If I have to guess it's going to take a while but coins will start pumping again next year. Otherwise you've essentially fallen for the buy high sell low trap. Dividends also do not give you passive income every month. They give you a fourth of the percentage every quarter. So if you put in $10,000 on ARCC like I did, you would get $250 eve
