Price these guesses point to$0.23-84% vs $1.44 todayAbout -31% a year, before dividends
What today's price needs: with a 10% margin and a 15x P/E, sales would have to grow about 52% a year for 5 years just to 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.
