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
$1.57
Implied price
$25.07
Return from $50.20
-13.0% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $12.47 -75.2% 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/E1214161820
-2.0%-25.4%-23.1%-21.0%-19.1%-17.4%
3.0%-21.6%-19.2%-17.0%-15.0%-13.2%
8.0%-17.8%-15.3%-13.0%-10.9%-9.0%
13.0%-14.0%-11.3%-8.9%-6.8%-4.8%
18.0%-10.2%-7.4%-4.9%-2.6%-0.6%

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.
