Price these guesses point to$77.65-10% vs $86.51 todayAbout -2.1% a year, before dividends

What today's price needs: with a 5% margin and a 40x P/E, sales would have to grow about 23% 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.
