Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from NXST's reported EPS growth of -5.5% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $2.71
- Implied price
- $48.72
- Return from $182.13
- -23.2% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $24.22 — -86.7% 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 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -15.5% | -36.7% | -33.8% | -31.3% | -29.2% | -27.2% |
| -10.5% | -32.9% | -29.9% | -27.2% | -25.0% | -22.9% |
| -5.5% | -29.2% | -25.9% | -23.2% | -20.8% | -18.6% |
| -0.5% | -25.4% | -22.0% | -19.1% | -16.6% | -14.3% |
| 4.5% | -21.7% | -18.1% | -15.1% | -12.4% | -10.0% |
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.

Nexstar Media: Legal Overhang Creates Value Opportunity
View source ↗ - Newsseekingalpha.com·7h ago·Positive
…es Value Opportunity Nexstar Media Group remains a "Buy," with shares undervalued due to legal overhang from the TEGNA acquisition and strong political ad tailwinds. NXST faces ~$100 million in lost operating efficiency until the TEGNA lawsuit resolves, but core business performance and margins remain resilient. Distribution revenue is robust, political ad spending is set to break records, and the CW turnaround is driving viewership growth and nearing profitability.

67 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.
