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
$0.42
Implied price
$13.01
Return from $4.37
24.4% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $6.47 — today's price is already 32.4% 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/E2126313641

18.0%25.7%31.2%35.9%40.0%43.7%

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.
