Valuation

Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.

Seeded from ARCO's reported EPS growth of 46.4% a year over 4 years. Historical EPS growth of 46% reflects a recovery from a low base and won't persist. Capped at 30% as a starting point.

EPS in 5 years
$3.74
Implied price
$26.17
Return from $7.91
27.0% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $13.01 — today's price is already 39.2% below that.

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/E357911

40.0%15.5%27.9%36.8%43.9%49.8%

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.
