Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from FAST's reported EPS growth of 9.1% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $1.69
- Implied price
- $61.02
- Return from $50.94
- 3.7% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $30.34 — -40.4% 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 | 26 | 31 | 36 | 41 | 46 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -0.9% | -11.8% | -8.6% | -5.8% | -3.3% | -1.1% |
| 4.1% | -7.3% | -4.0% | -1.1% | 1.5% | 3.9% |
| 9.1% | -2.9% | 0.6% | 3.7% | 6.4% | 8.9% |
| 14.1% | 1.6% | 5.2% | 8.4% | 11.3% | 13.9% |
| 19.1% | 6.0% | 9.8% | 13.2% | 16.2% | 18.9% |
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.

72 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.
