Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from COST's reported EPS growth of 12.2% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $36.95
- Implied price
- $1,663
- Return from $920.65
- 12.6% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $826.73 — -10.2% 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 | 31 | 38 | 45 | 52 | 59 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2% | -4.8% | -0.9% | 2.5% | 5.5% | 8.2% |
| 7.2% | -0.2% | 4.0% | 7.5% | 10.7% | 13.5% |
| 12.2% | 4.5% | 8.8% | 12.6% | 15.9% | 18.8% |
| 17.2% | 9.1% | 13.7% | 17.6% | 21.0% | 24.1% |
| 22.2% | 13.8% | 18.5% | 22.6% | 26.2% | 29.4% |
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.
