Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from SCL's reported EPS growth of -4.5% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $1.63
- Implied price
- $37.46
- Return from $61.45
- -9.4% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $18.62 — -69.7% 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 | 17 | 20 | 23 | 26 | 29 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -14.5% | -23.7% | -21.1% | -18.9% | -16.9% | -15.1% |
| -9.5% | -19.2% | -16.5% | -14.2% | -12.0% | -10.1% |
| -4.5% | -14.7% | -11.9% | -9.4% | -7.2% | -5.1% |
| 0.5% | -10.3% | -7.3% | -4.7% | -2.3% | -0.2% |
| 5.5% | -5.8% | -2.7% | 0.1% | 2.5% | 4.8% |
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.

Insider trading
Open-market buys and sells by SCL officers and directors.
No open-market trades in the recent filings. All 100 recent Form 4 entries were share awards, option exercises or tax withholding — pay, not decisions to buy or sell.
100 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.
