Valuation

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

Seeded from VZ's reported EPS growth of -6.5% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$2.90
Implied price
$29.04
Return from $48.48
-9.7% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $14.44 -70.2% 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/E68101214
-16.5%-27.2%-22.9%-19.4%-16.4%-13.8%
-11.5%-22.9%-18.3%-14.6%-11.4%-8.6%
-6.5%-18.5%-13.7%-9.7%-6.4%-3.5%
-1.5%-14.1%-9.1%-4.9%-1.4%1.7%
3.5%-9.8%-4.4%-0.1%3.6%6.9%

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.
