Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from HSY's reported EPS growth of 2.9% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $5.01
- Implied price
- $210.55
- Return from $160.19
- 5.6% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $104.68 — -34.7% 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/E | 30 | 36 | 42 | 48 | 54 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -7.1% | -10.9% | -7.5% | -4.6% | -2.1% | 0.3% |
| -2.1% | -6.1% | -2.6% | 0.5% | 3.2% | 5.7% |
| 2.9% | -1.3% | 2.4% | 5.6% | 8.5% | 11.1% |
| 7.9% | 3.5% | 7.4% | 10.8% | 13.7% | 16.5% |
| 12.9% | 8.3% | 12.4% | 15.9% | 19.0% | 21.9% |
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.
