Valuation

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

Seeded from KR's reported EPS growth of -8.2% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$1.02
Implied price
$40.64
Return from $56.69
-6.4% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $20.20 -64.4% 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/E2834404652

-13.2%-17.6%-14.4%-11.5%-9.0%-6.8%

-3.2%-8.1%-4.5%-1.3%1.5%4.0%
1.8%-3.4%0.4%3.7%6.7%9.3%

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.
