Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from ATO's reported EPS growth of 9.2% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $11.71
- Implied price
- $269.36
- Return from $158.05
- 11.3% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $133.92 — -15.3% 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 | 17 | 20 | 23 | 26 | 29 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -0.8% | -4.9% | -1.7% | 1.1% | 3.6% | 5.9% |
| 4.2% | -0.1% | 3.2% | 6.2% | 8.8% | 11.2% |
| 9.2% | 4.7% | 8.2% | 11.3% | 14.0% | 16.5% |
| 14.2% | 9.5% | 13.1% | 16.3% | 19.2% | 21.9% |
| 19.2% | 14.3% | 18.1% | 21.4% | 24.5% | 27.2% |
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.

97 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
