Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from LW's reported EPS growth of 0.2% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $2.11
- Implied price
- $42.18
- Return from $43.79
- -0.7% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $20.97 — -52.1% 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 | 14 | 17 | 20 | 23 | 26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -9.8% | -16.8% | -13.5% | -10.7% | -8.1% | -5.8% |
| -4.8% | -12.2% | -8.7% | -5.7% | -3.0% | -0.6% |
| 0.2% | -7.6% | -3.9% | -0.7% | 2.1% | 4.6% |
| 5.2% | -3.0% | 0.9% | 4.2% | 7.2% | 9.8% |
| 10.2% | 1.6% | 5.7% | 9.2% | 12.3% | 15.0% |
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.
