Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from LECO's reported EPS growth of 8.9% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $14.39
- Implied price
- $374.09
- Return from $274.38
- 6.4% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $185.99 — -32.2% 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -1.1% | -10.2% | -6.5% | -3.4% | -0.6% | 2.0% |
| 3.9% | -5.7% | -1.8% | 1.5% | 4.5% | 7.1% |
| 8.9% | -1.1% | 2.9% | 6.4% | 9.5% | 12.3% |
| 13.9% | 3.4% | 7.6% | 11.3% | 14.5% | 17.4% |
| 18.9% | 7.9% | 12.3% | 16.2% | 19.5% | 22.6% |
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.

84 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to.
