Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from KMX's reported EPS growth of -0.9% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $1.61
- Implied price
- $41.73
- Return from $54.92
- -5.3% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $20.75 — -62.2% 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/E | 18 | 22 | 26 | 30 | 34 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -10.9% | -20.9% | -17.7% | -14.9% | -12.4% | -10.2% |
| -5.9% | -16.5% | -13.1% | -10.1% | -7.5% | -5.2% |
| -0.9% | -12.1% | -8.5% | -5.3% | -2.6% | -0.1% |
| 4.1% | -7.6% | -3.8% | -0.6% | 2.3% | 4.9% |
| 9.1% | -3.2% | 0.8% | 4.2% | 7.2% | 10.0% |
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.
