Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from EFC's reported EPS growth of -10.9% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $0.83
- Implied price
- $9.12
- Return from $11.59
- -4.7% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $4.54 — -60.9% 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 | 7 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 15 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -20.9% | -22.7% | -18.7% | -15.4% | -12.5% | -10.0% |
| -15.9% | -17.8% | -13.6% | -10.0% | -7.0% | -4.3% |
| -10.9% | -12.9% | -8.4% | -4.7% | -1.4% | 1.4% |
| -5.9% | -8.0% | -3.3% | 0.7% | 4.1% | 7.1% |
| -0.9% | -3.1% | 1.9% | 6.0% | 9.6% | 12.8% |
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.

91 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.
