Estimates and results for CRI via Financial Modeling Prep. Beating consensus says the company cleared the bar analysts set, not that the business grew.

Valuation

Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.

Seeded from CRI's reported EPS growth of -24.2% a year over 4 years. Historical EPS growth of -24% would project the company towards zero. Floored at -15% as a starting point.

EPS in 5 years
$1.15
Implied price
$14.94
Return from $38.72
-17.3% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $7.43 -80.8% 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/E911131517
-25.0%-32.2%-29.5%-27.1%-25.0%-23.0%
-20.0%-27.7%-24.8%-22.2%-19.9%-17.9%
-15.0%-23.2%-20.1%-17.3%-14.9%-12.8%
-10.0%-18.7%-15.4%-12.5%-9.9%-7.7%
-5.0%-14.2%-10.7%-7.6%-4.9%-2.5%

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.
