Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from SAH's reported EPS growth of 6.0% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $4.67
- Implied price
- $84.10
- Return from $62.63
- 6.1% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $41.81 — -33.2% 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -4.0% | -11.4% | -7.4% | -3.9% | -0.9% | 1.8% |
| 1.0% | -6.8% | -2.6% | 1.1% | 4.2% | 7.1% |
| 6.0% | -2.2% | 2.3% | 6.1% | 9.4% | 12.4% |
| 11.0% | 2.4% | 7.1% | 11.1% | 14.6% | 17.7% |
| 16.0% | 7.0% | 11.9% | 16.1% | 19.7% | 23.0% |
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.

75 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.
