Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from GWW's reported EPS growth of 10.5% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $58.68
- Implied price
- $1,643
- Return from $1,280
- 5.1% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $816.82 — -36.2% 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 | 20 | 24 | 28 | 32 | 36 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5% | -10.6% | -7.3% | -4.4% | -1.8% | 0.5% |
| 5.5% | -6.2% | -2.7% | 0.4% | 3.1% | 5.5% |
| 10.5% | -1.7% | 1.9% | 5.1% | 8.0% | 10.5% |
| 15.5% | 2.7% | 6.5% | 9.9% | 12.8% | 15.5% |
| 20.5% | 7.2% | 11.1% | 14.6% | 17.7% | 20.5% |
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.

73 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.
