Valuation

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

Seeded from UVV's reported EPS growth of -21.9% a year over 4 years. Historical EPS growth of -22% would project the company towards zero. Floored at -15% as a starting point.

EPS in 5 years
$0.58
Implied price
$23.70
Return from $44.77
-11.9% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $11.78 -73.7% 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/E2935414753
-25.0%-27.5%-24.7%-22.3%-20.2%-18.2%
-20.0%-22.7%-19.7%-17.1%-14.8%-12.8%

-10.0%-13.0%-9.7%-6.8%-4.2%-1.9%
-5.0%-8.2%-4.7%-1.6%1.1%3.6%

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.
