Valuation

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

EPS was negative in at least one boundary year, so a compound growth rate can't be computed from it. Set your own assumption.

EPS in 5 years
$5.89
Implied price
$82.46
Return from $64.81
4.9% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $41.00 -36.7% 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/E1012141618
-2.0%-11.0%-7.7%-4.8%-2.2%0.1%
3.0%-6.4%-3.0%0.1%2.8%5.2%

13.0%2.6%6.5%9.8%12.8%15.5%
18.0%7.2%11.2%14.7%17.8%20.6%

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.
