Price these guesses point to$248.80+51% vs $164.73 todayAbout +8.6% a year, before dividends

What today's price needs: with a 10% margin and a 14x P/E, sales could shrink about 3.3% a year for 5 years and still match today's price.

Simple math on your guesses, not a forecast or a price target. Real results depend on many things these sliders leave out.
