Valuation

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

Seeded from JHX's reported EPS growth of -34.5% a year over 4 years. Historical EPS growth of -34% would project the company towards zero. Floored at -15% as a starting point.

EPS in 5 years
$0.09
Implied price
$1.53
Return from $31.04
-45.2% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $0.76 -97.5% 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/E1215182124
-25.0%-55.4%-53.4%-51.7%-50.1%-48.8%
-20.0%-52.4%-50.3%-48.4%-46.8%-45.4%

-10.0%-46.5%-44.1%-42.0%-40.2%-38.5%
-5.0%-43.5%-41.0%-38.8%-36.8%-35.1%

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.
