Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from CTSH's reported EPS growth of 7.7% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $6.72
- Implied price
- $120.92
- Return from $58.51
- 15.6% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $60.12 — today's price is already 2.7% below that.
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 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.3% | -3.3% | 1.1% | 4.9% | 8.2% | 11.1% |
| 2.7% | 1.7% | 6.3% | 10.3% | 13.7% | 16.8% |
| 7.7% | 6.6% | 11.5% | 15.6% | 19.2% | 22.5% |
| 12.7% | 11.6% | 16.7% | 21.0% | 24.8% | 28.2% |
| 17.7% | 16.5% | 21.8% | 26.4% | 30.3% | 33.8% |
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.
