Valuation

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

Seeded from SLM's reported EPS growth of -1.0% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$3.42
Implied price
$27.36
Return from $28.03
-0.5% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $13.60 -51.5% 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/E4681012
-11.0%-22.1%-15.5%-10.5%-6.5%-3.0%
-6.0%-17.7%-10.8%-5.5%-1.2%2.5%

4.0%-9.0%-1.3%4.5%9.3%13.4%
9.0%-4.6%3.4%9.6%14.6%18.8%

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.
