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
- $14.55
- Implied price
- $218.26
- Return from $116.20
- 13.4% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $108.52 — -6.6% 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 | 11 | 13 | 15 | 17 | 19 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.0% | -3.3% | 0.0% | 2.9% | 5.5% | 7.9% |
| 3.0% | 1.7% | 5.1% | 8.2% | 10.9% | 13.4% |
| 8.0% | 6.6% | 10.2% | 13.4% | 16.3% | 18.9% |
| 13.0% | 11.6% | 15.3% | 18.7% | 21.7% | 24.4% |
| 18.0% | 16.5% | 20.4% | 23.9% | 27.1% | 29.9% |
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.

93 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.
