Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from LKQ's reported EPS growth of 7.8% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $3.45
- Implied price
- $44.89
- Return from $17.42
- 20.8% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $22.32 — today's price is already 21.9% below that.
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 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 15 | 17 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.2% | 1.9% | 6.0% | 9.6% | 12.8% | 15.7% |
| 2.8% | 7.1% | 11.5% | 15.2% | 18.6% | 21.6% |
| 7.8% | 12.3% | 16.9% | 20.8% | 24.4% | 27.5% |
| 12.8% | 17.5% | 22.3% | 26.4% | 30.1% | 33.4% |
| 17.8% | 22.7% | 27.7% | 32.1% | 35.9% | 39.3% |
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.

LKQ Corporation's Decline Offers Investors A Buying Opportunity LKQ Corporation remains a compelling buy despite recent revenue and profit declines, with shares trading at attractive valuations versus peers. Short-term weakness, especially in Europe due to ERP implementation issues, has pressured results but appears largely temporary rather than demand-driven. Management forecasts 2026 revenue down 1–3% and adjusted EPS of $2.60–$2.90, with ongoing strategic restructuring expected to enhance lon…

93 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.
