Valuation

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

Seeded from SAH's reported EPS growth of -19.8% a year over 4 years. Historical EPS growth of -20% would project the company towards zero. Floored at -15% as a starting point.

EPS in 5 years
$1.55
Implied price
$27.88
Return from $80.83
-19.2% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $13.86 -82.8% 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/E1215182124
-25.0%-34.2%-31.2%-28.7%-26.4%-24.5%
-20.0%-29.9%-26.7%-23.9%-21.5%-19.4%
-15.0%-25.5%-22.1%-19.2%-16.6%-14.4%
-10.0%-21.1%-17.5%-14.4%-11.7%-9.4%
-5.0%-16.7%-12.9%-9.7%-6.8%-4.3%

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.
