Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from CWT's reported EPS growth of 4.8% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $2.72
- Implied price
- $54.42
- Return from $45.96
- 3.4% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $27.05 — -41.1% 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 | 14 | 17 | 20 | 23 | 26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -5.2% | -12.9% | -9.4% | -6.4% | -3.8% | -1.4% |
| -0.2% | -8.3% | -4.6% | -1.5% | 1.3% | 3.8% |
| 4.8% | -3.7% | 0.1% | 3.4% | 6.4% | 9.0% |
| 9.8% | 0.9% | 4.9% | 8.4% | 11.4% | 14.2% |
| 14.8% | 5.5% | 9.7% | 13.3% | 16.5% | 19.4% |
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.

94 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. 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.
