Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from CXW's reported EPS growth of -2.8% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $0.94
- Implied price
- $17.00
- Return from $33.43
- -12.7% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $8.45 — -74.7% 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 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -12.8% | -27.7% | -24.4% | -21.6% | -19.2% | -17.0% |
| -7.8% | -23.6% | -20.1% | -17.1% | -14.5% | -12.2% |
| -2.8% | -19.5% | -15.8% | -12.7% | -9.9% | -7.5% |
| 2.2% | -15.3% | -11.4% | -8.2% | -5.3% | -2.7% |
| 7.2% | -11.2% | -7.1% | -3.7% | -0.6% | 2.0% |
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.

60 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.
