Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from DG's reported EPS growth of 6.9% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $9.59
- Implied price
- $201.44
- Return from $118.94
- 11.1% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $100.15 — -15.8% 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 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 | 27 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -3.1% | -5.8% | -2.3% | 0.7% | 3.4% | 5.9% |
| 1.9% | -1.0% | 2.7% | 5.9% | 8.8% | 11.4% |
| 6.9% | 3.9% | 7.7% | 11.1% | 14.1% | 16.8% |
| 11.9% | 8.7% | 12.8% | 16.3% | 19.5% | 22.3% |
| 16.9% | 13.6% | 17.8% | 21.5% | 24.8% | 27.8% |
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.
