Valuation

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

Seeded from QLYS's reported EPS growth of 31.8% a year over 4 years. Historical EPS growth of 32% reflects a recovery from a low base and won't persist. Capped at 30% as a starting point.

EPS in 5 years
$20.37
Implied price
$488.97
Return from $186.05
21.3% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $243.10 — today's price is already 23.5% below that.

How sensitive is that answer?

Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.

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.
