Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from KSS's reported EPS growth of -4.1% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $1.97
- Implied price
- $13.79
- Return from $18.81
- -6.0% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $6.86 — -63.6% 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 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 9 | 11 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -14.1% | -28.9% | -21.3% | -15.8% | -11.5% | -7.9% |
| -9.1% | -24.8% | -16.7% | -10.9% | -6.3% | -2.5% |
| -4.1% | -20.7% | -12.1% | -6.0% | -1.2% | 2.9% |
| 0.9% | -16.5% | -7.6% | -1.1% | 4.0% | 8.2% |
| 5.9% | -12.4% | -3.0% | 3.8% | 9.1% | 13.6% |
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.
