Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from HTGC's reported EPS growth of 5.6% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $2.47
- Implied price
- $24.68
- Return from $16.74
- 8.1% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $12.27 — -26.7% 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 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -4.4% | -11.7% | -6.4% | -2.2% | 1.5% | 4.6% |
| 0.6% | -7.0% | -1.5% | 3.0% | 6.8% | 10.1% |
| 5.6% | -2.4% | 3.4% | 8.1% | 12.1% | 15.6% |
| 10.6% | 2.2% | 8.2% | 13.2% | 17.4% | 21.1% |
| 15.6% | 6.8% | 13.1% | 18.3% | 22.7% | 26.5% |
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.

69 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.
