Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
EPS was negative in at least one boundary year, so a compound growth rate can't be computed from it. Set your own assumption.
- EPS in 5 years
- $0.02
- Implied price
- $0.32
- Return from $7.38
- -46.7% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $0.16 — -97.9% 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 | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -2.0% | -55.4% | -53.3% | -51.6% | -50.1% | -48.7% |
| 3.0% | -53.1% | -51.0% | -49.1% | -47.5% | -46.1% |
| 8.0% | -50.8% | -48.6% | -46.7% | -45.0% | -43.5% |
| 13.0% | -48.5% | -46.2% | -44.2% | -42.4% | -40.9% |
| 18.0% | -46.3% | -43.8% | -41.7% | -39.9% | -38.3% |
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.

USA Today: Turnaround Stalls, Litigation Option Gains Value The bull thesis for USA Today (TDAY) has two legs: a turnaround in the underlying business and a favorable outcome from the Google antitrust lawsuit. The turnaround leg remains weak, as digital advertising and marketing are declining, while subscription growth is primarily driven by higher ARPU. AI and licensing provide the clearest potential growth driver, but licensing remains small and unpredictable, making a near-term operating infl…

93 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.
