Valuation

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

Seeded from HSY's reported EPS growth of -11.4% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$2.37
Implied price
$97.16
Return from $184.22
-12.0% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $48.31 -73.8% 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/E2935414753
-21.4%-27.2%-24.4%-21.9%-19.8%-17.8%
-16.4%-22.5%-19.6%-17.0%-14.7%-12.6%
-11.4%-17.9%-14.8%-12.0%-9.6%-7.4%
-6.4%-13.3%-9.9%-7.0%-4.5%-2.1%
-1.4%-8.6%-5.1%-2.1%0.6%3.1%

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.
