Valuation

Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.

Seeded from FAST's reported EPS growth of 8.3% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$1.63
Implied price
$58.81
Return from $51.02
2.9% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $29.24 -42.7% 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/E2631364146
-1.7%-12.5%-9.4%-6.6%-4.2%-1.9%
3.3%-8.0%-4.8%-1.9%0.7%3.1%

13.3%0.9%4.5%7.6%10.5%13.0%
18.3%5.3%9.1%12.4%15.3%18.0%

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.
