Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from SKM's reported EPS growth of -8.0% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $702.13
- Implied price
- $20,362
- Return from $36.40
- 254.4% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $10,123 — today's price is already 99.6% 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.
| growth \ P/E | 21 | 25 | 29 | 33 | 37 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -18.0% | 196.2% | 206.7% | 215.9% | 224.2% | 231.7% |
| -13.0% | 214.2% | 225.4% | 235.2% | 244.0% | 251.9% |
| -8.0% | 232.3% | 244.1% | 254.4% | 263.7% | 272.1% |
| -3.0% | 250.3% | 262.8% | 273.7% | 283.5% | 292.4% |
| 2.0% | 268.4% | 281.5% | 293.0% | 303.3% | 312.6% |
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 SKM officers and directors.
No open-market trades in the recent filings. All 2 recent Form 4 entries were share awards, option exercises or tax withholding — pay, not decisions to buy or sell.
2 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. Via SEC filings.
Congress trades
No disclosed congressional trades in SKM.
Self-reported filings, amounts as brackets. Via Senate/House disclosures.
