Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from WBD's reported EPS growth of -5.8% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $0.22
- Implied price
- $3.92
- Return from $30.95
- -33.8% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $1.95 — -93.7% 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/E | 12 | 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -15.8% | -45.5% | -43.0% | -40.9% | -39.0% | -37.4% |
| -10.8% | -42.2% | -39.6% | -37.4% | -35.4% | -33.6% |
| -5.8% | -39.0% | -36.2% | -33.8% | -31.8% | -29.9% |
| -0.8% | -35.8% | -32.8% | -30.3% | -28.2% | -26.2% |
| 4.2% | -32.5% | -29.4% | -26.8% | -24.5% | -22.5% |
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.
