Valuation

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

Seeded from NSC's reported EPS growth of 1.2% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$13.57
Implied price
$312.01
Return from $334.41
-1.4% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $155.12 -53.6% 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/E1720232629
-8.8%-16.3%-13.6%-11.1%-8.9%-6.9%
-3.8%-11.7%-8.8%-6.2%-3.9%-1.8%

6.2%-2.6%0.6%3.5%6.1%8.4%
11.2%2.0%5.4%8.4%11.1%13.5%

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.
