Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from CAKE's reported EPS growth of 4.2% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $3.91
- Implied price
- $62.57
- Return from $109.65
- -10.6% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $31.11 — -71.6% 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 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -5.8% | -23.7% | -21.3% | -19.2% | -17.3% | -15.5% |
| -0.8% | -19.7% | -17.1% | -14.9% | -12.9% | -11.0% |
| 4.2% | -15.6% | -13.0% | -10.6% | -8.5% | -6.5% |
| 9.2% | -11.6% | -8.8% | -6.3% | -4.1% | -2.0% |
| 14.2% | -7.5% | -4.6% | -2.0% | 0.3% | 2.4% |
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.
