Valuation

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

Seeded from SCM's reported EPS growth of -13.8% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$0.45
Implied price
$5.90
Return from $8.78
-7.6% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $2.93 -66.6% 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/E911131517
-23.8%-24.1%-21.0%-18.4%-16.0%-13.9%
-18.8%-19.2%-15.9%-13.0%-10.5%-8.2%

-8.8%-9.2%-5.5%-2.3%0.5%3.1%
-3.8%-4.2%-0.3%3.1%6.1%8.7%

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.
