Valuation

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

Seeded from WST's reported EPS growth of -6.4% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$4.91
Implied price
$196.23
Return from $349.42
-10.9% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $97.56 -72.1% 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/E2834404652
-16.4%-25.9%-23.0%-20.4%-18.2%-16.1%
-11.4%-21.5%-18.4%-15.7%-13.3%-11.1%
-6.4%-17.0%-13.7%-10.9%-8.4%-6.1%
-1.4%-12.6%-9.1%-6.1%-3.5%-1.1%
3.6%-8.2%-4.5%-1.4%1.4%3.9%

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.
