Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from CHEF's reported EPS growth of 7.9% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $2.73
- Implied price
- $92.92
- Return from $112.17
- -3.7% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $46.20 — -58.8% 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 | 24 | 29 | 34 | 39 | 44 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.1% | -18.5% | -15.4% | -12.6% | -10.2% | -8.0% |
| 2.9% | -14.3% | -11.0% | -8.2% | -5.6% | -3.3% |
| 7.9% | -10.2% | -6.7% | -3.7% | -1.0% | 1.4% |
| 12.9% | -6.0% | -2.4% | 0.8% | 3.6% | 6.1% |
| 17.9% | -1.9% | 1.9% | 5.2% | 8.2% | 10.8% |
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.

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.
