Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from PKG's reported EPS growth of 13.3% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $16.02
- Implied price
- $384.52
- Return from $228.54
- 11.0% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $191.18 — -16.3% 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 | 16 | 20 | 24 | 28 | 32 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.3% | -6.7% | -2.5% | 1.2% | 4.3% | 7.2% |
| 8.3% | -2.2% | 2.3% | 6.1% | 9.4% | 12.4% |
| 13.3% | 2.3% | 7.0% | 11.0% | 14.4% | 17.5% |
| 18.3% | 6.8% | 11.7% | 15.9% | 19.5% | 22.7% |
| 23.3% | 11.4% | 16.4% | 20.8% | 24.5% | 27.9% |
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.

93 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.
