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
- $1.33
- Implied price
- $14.63
- Return from $16.03
- -1.8% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $7.27 — -54.6% 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 | 7 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 15 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.0% | -18.6% | -14.4% | -10.9% | -7.9% | -5.2% |
| 3.0% | -14.4% | -10.0% | -6.4% | -3.2% | -0.4% |
| 8.0% | -10.3% | -5.7% | -1.8% | 1.5% | 4.5% |
| 13.0% | -6.1% | -1.3% | 2.7% | 6.2% | 9.3% |
| 18.0% | -2.0% | 3.1% | 7.3% | 10.9% | 14.1% |
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.

65 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.
