Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from MAIN's reported EPS growth of 3.6% a year over 4 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $6.59
- Implied price
- $72.48
- Return from $58.80
- 4.3% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $36.04 — -38.7% 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -6.4% | -13.9% | -9.5% | -5.8% | -2.6% | 0.2% |
| -1.4% | -9.3% | -4.7% | -0.8% | 2.6% | 5.6% |
| 3.6% | -4.7% | 0.2% | 4.3% | 7.8% | 10.9% |
| 8.6% | -0.1% | 5.0% | 9.3% | 13.0% | 16.3% |
| 13.6% | 4.5% | 9.8% | 14.3% | 18.2% | 21.7% |
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.

Donald Trump doesn’t just love billionaires, he loves multimillionaires too US tax policy deprives the government of revenue and overwhelmingly serves the interests of the richAfter the House passed its version of Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) last year – the one that paired a $5tn-plus tax cut with $1tn-plus of cuts from food stamps and Medicaid – the House speaker, Mike Johnson, explained that “this is not giving tax cuts to the millionaires”. The beneficiaries, he said, we

Main ideas in simple bullet points (8th-grade level): Most people will miss today’s big XRP news — the XRP Ledger is already the fastest-growing blockchain for real-world assets (things like stocks or property put on the blockchain). Ripple is buying companies and building fast so it can grow even bigger. New rules in the UK are encouraging (and may soon require) banks and companies to use blockchain because it is faster, cheaper, and safer.
