Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from WING's reported EPS growth of 34.7% a year over 13 years. Historical EPS growth of 35% reflects a recovery from a low base and won't persist. Capped at 30% as a starting point.
- EPS in 5 years
- $23.13
- Implied price
- $948.33
- Return from $106.89
- 54.7% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $471.49 — today's price is already 77.3% 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 | 29 | 35 | 41 | 47 | 53 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20.0% | 33.3% | 38.4% | 42.8% | 46.8% | 50.4% |
| 25.0% | 38.8% | 44.2% | 48.8% | 52.9% | 56.6% |
| 30.0% | 44.4% | 49.9% | 54.7% | 59.0% | 62.9% |
| 35.0% | 49.9% | 55.7% | 60.7% | 65.1% | 69.2% |
| 40.0% | 55.5% | 61.5% | 66.6% | 71.3% | 75.4% |
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.

98 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.
