Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from DEO's reported EPS growth of -1.9% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $2.83
- Implied price
- $73.65
- Return from $84.75
- -2.8% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $36.62 — -56.8% 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/E | 18 | 22 | 26 | 30 | 34 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -11.9% | -18.9% | -15.5% | -12.7% | -10.1% | -7.9% |
| -6.9% | -14.3% | -10.8% | -7.7% | -5.0% | -2.6% |
| -1.9% | -9.7% | -6.0% | -2.8% | 0.1% | 2.6% |
| 3.1% | -5.1% | -1.2% | 2.2% | 5.2% | 7.8% |
| 8.1% | -0.5% | 3.6% | 7.1% | 10.3% | 13.0% |
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.
