Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
EPS was negative in at least one boundary year, so a compound growth rate can't be computed from it. Set your own assumption.
- EPS in 5 years
- $20.94
- Implied price
- $376.91
- Return from $174.61
- 16.6% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $187.39 — today's price is already 6.8% below that.
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 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.0% | -2.4% | 2.0% | 5.8% | 9.2% | 12.1% |
| 3.0% | 2.6% | 7.3% | 11.2% | 14.7% | 17.8% |
| 8.0% | 7.6% | 12.5% | 16.6% | 20.3% | 23.5% |
| 13.0% | 12.5% | 17.7% | 22.0% | 25.9% | 29.3% |
| 18.0% | 17.5% | 22.9% | 27.4% | 31.4% | 35.0% |
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.
