77 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. Via SEC filings.

Valuation

Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.

Seeded from LOPE's reported EPS growth of 6.9% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$10.83
Implied price
$227.45
Return from $141.42
10.0% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $113.08 -20.0% 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/E1518212427

16.9%12.4%16.6%20.3%23.5%26.5%

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.
