Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from KLAC's reported EPS growth of 13.6% a year over 4 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $6.97
- Implied price
- $125.43
- Return from $203.72
- -9.2% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $62.36 — -69.4% 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 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6% | -23.7% | -20.2% | -17.2% | -14.6% | -12.3% |
| 8.6% | -20.0% | -16.3% | -13.2% | -10.5% | -8.1% |
| 13.6% | -16.3% | -12.5% | -9.2% | -6.4% | -3.9% |
| 18.6% | -12.6% | -8.6% | -5.2% | -2.3% | 0.4% |
| 23.6% | -8.9% | -4.8% | -1.3% | 1.8% | 4.6% |
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.
