Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
EPS was negative in at least one boundary year, so a compound growth rate can't be computed from it. Set your own assumption.
- EPS in 5 years
- $11.94
- Implied price
- $238.78
- Return from $217.59
- 1.9% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $118.72 — -45.4% 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 | 14 | 17 | 20 | 23 | 26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.0% | -13.9% | -10.5% | -7.6% | -4.9% | -2.6% |
| 3.0% | -9.5% | -5.9% | -2.8% | -0.1% | 2.4% |
| 8.0% | -5.1% | -1.4% | 1.9% | 4.8% | 7.4% |
| 13.0% | -0.7% | 3.2% | 6.6% | 9.6% | 12.3% |
| 18.0% | 3.6% | 7.7% | 11.3% | 14.5% | 17.3% |
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.

54 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.
