Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from WCN's reported EPS growth of 12.9% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $7.75
- Implied price
- $325.42
- Return from $153.82
- 16.2% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $161.79 — today's price is already 4.9% below that.
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 | 30 | 36 | 42 | 48 | 54 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.9% | -1.0% | 2.7% | 5.9% | 8.7% | 11.3% |
| 7.9% | 3.8% | 7.7% | 11.0% | 14.0% | 16.7% |
| 12.9% | 8.6% | 12.6% | 16.2% | 19.3% | 22.2% |
| 17.9% | 13.4% | 17.6% | 21.3% | 24.6% | 27.6% |
| 22.9% | 18.2% | 22.6% | 26.5% | 29.9% | 33.0% |
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.

85 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.
