Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
EPS was negative in at least one boundary year, so a compound growth rate can't be computed from it. Set your own assumption.
- EPS in 5 years
- $9.46
- Implied price
- $274.23
- Return from $295.00
- -1.4% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $136.34 — -53.8% 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 | 21 | 25 | 29 | 33 | 37 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.0% | -16.2% | -13.2% | -10.6% | -8.2% | -6.1% |
| 3.0% | -11.9% | -8.8% | -6.0% | -3.6% | -1.3% |
| 8.0% | -7.6% | -4.3% | -1.4% | 1.1% | 3.5% |
| 13.0% | -3.3% | 0.1% | 3.1% | 5.8% | 8.3% |
| 18.0% | 0.9% | 4.5% | 7.7% | 10.5% | 13.1% |
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.

51 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.
