Valuation

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

Seeded from CSWC's reported EPS growth of 1.4% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$2.14
Implied price
$23.57
Return from $24.88
-1.1% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $11.72 -52.9% 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/E79111315

6.4%-5.2%-0.3%3.8%7.3%10.4%
11.4%-0.7%4.4%8.7%12.4%15.6%

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.

Net investment income grew on a total basis, but per-share results and NAV saw modest pressure due to higher losses and rising non-accrua
