Estimates and results for DRI via Financial Modeling Prep. Beating consensus says the company cleared the bar analysts set, not that the business grew.
Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from DRI's reported EPS growth of 8.8% a year over 4 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $16.10
- Implied price
- $305.81
- Return from $225.25
- 6.3% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $152.04 — -32.5% 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 | 13 | 16 | 19 | 22 | 25 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -1.2% | -10.5% | -6.7% | -3.5% | -0.6% | 2.0% |
| 3.8% | -6.0% | -2.0% | 1.4% | 4.4% | 7.1% |
| 8.8% | -1.5% | 2.7% | 6.3% | 9.5% | 12.3% |
| 13.8% | 3.1% | 7.4% | 11.2% | 14.5% | 17.5% |
| 18.8% | 7.6% | 12.2% | 16.1% | 19.5% | 22.6% |
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.
