Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from CAAS's reported EPS growth of 5.6% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $1.86
- Implied price
- $33.56
- Return from $4.62
- 48.7% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $16.69 — today's price is already 72.3% 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/E | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -4.4% | 24.1% | 29.8% | 34.6% | 38.8% | 42.6% |
| 0.6% | 30.6% | 36.6% | 41.6% | 46.1% | 50.0% |
| 5.6% | 37.1% | 43.4% | 48.7% | 53.3% | 57.5% |
| 10.6% | 43.6% | 50.1% | 55.7% | 60.6% | 64.9% |
| 15.6% | 50.1% | 56.9% | 62.8% | 67.9% | 72.4% |
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.

12 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.
