Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from NWN's reported EPS growth of 1.8% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $3.03
- Implied price
- $51.54
- Return from $47.78
- 1.5% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $25.62 — -46.4% 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 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 20 | 23 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -8.2% | -16.1% | -11.9% | -8.4% | -5.4% | -2.7% |
| -3.2% | -11.5% | -7.1% | -3.5% | -0.3% | 2.6% |
| 1.8% | -6.9% | -2.3% | 1.5% | 4.9% | 7.9% |
| 6.8% | -2.4% | 2.5% | 6.5% | 10.0% | 13.2% |
| 11.8% | 2.2% | 7.3% | 11.5% | 15.2% | 18.4% |
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.

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.
