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
$3.09
Implied price
$37.09
Return from $28.12
5.7% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $18.44 -34.4% 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/E810121416
-2.0%-11.6%-7.5%-4.1%-1.1%1.6%
3.0%-7.1%-2.8%0.8%4.0%6.8%

13.0%2.0%6.6%10.6%14.1%17.1%
18.0%6.5%11.3%15.5%19.1%22.3%

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.
