Scenario calculator
Enter EPS growth and exit P/E per scenario. The chart starts at the current share price (Now) and transitions the P/E from today's trailing multiple toward your Exit P/E over the horizon. Same live price and TTM EPS as the rest of the page.
Implied price path (by year)
Paths start at $18.26 (Now); the P/E transitions from today's trailing multiple toward Exit P/E by the horizon year.

| bear | $16.05 | -12.1% | -2.5% |
| base | $35.20 | +92.7% | +14.0% |
| bull | $50.91 | +178.8% | +22.8% |
Sensitivity (base case)
Sensitivity grid — sweeps EPS growth and exit P/E around your base inputs. Simple mode only; bear, bull, and Advanced (revenue) paths are not included.
Implied share price at the horizon for each combination: EPS growth in the rows, exit P/E in the columns; other settings stay fixed.

Shade depth: darker fill within the same color band means a higher implied price in that cell (across the grid).
Annual diluted EPS
GAAP diluted earnings per share by fiscal year (from reported statements). Use it as context for the EPS growth assumptions in the scenario calculator above — not a forecast.
Scale: -6.41 to 5.36 EPS; horizontal line at 0. Fiscal years with no row in the database are omitted.
Diluted EPS year-over-year change
Percent change vs the previous fiscal year in this series. If a fiscal year is missing in the database, the comparison is to the prior available year (not necessarily the prior calendar year).
Historical multiples
Each bar is the trailing five-year range (low left, high right). Gray fill from low to today; dot = today; amber tick = median. Low, median, and high are listed under each bar.

Return drivers (illustrative)
Historical EPS growth and where today’s P/E sits vs its five-year median — same P/E basis as the scenario price paths chart above.
Historical EPS growth
Compound annual growth of reported diluted EPS over the last five fiscal years.
Vs median P/E
Current P/E is above the trailing five-year median (richer valuation vs that history).
Your EPS growth vs next-year analyst consensus
Same basis for every column: one-step implied EPS growth (next-year average estimate vs TTM). Consensus uses 9 EPS estimates. Δ (pts) is your growth minus consensus in percentage points, not “percent of consensus.”
| Scenario | Your growth | Consensus | Δ (pts) |
|---|---|---|---|
| bear | -5.4% | +8.4% | -13.7 pts |
| base | +7.8% | +8.4% | -0.6 pts |
| bull | +13.3% | +8.4% | +4.9 pts |
