For a second opinion, estimate intrinsic value with the Dividend Discount Model Calculator or the Graham Number Calculator, then compute the margin of safety against today’s price.

Formula and how it works
Example with real numbers
Here is the Earnings Per Share Growth Calculator using the default values shown in the calculator above:
Inputs
| Earlier EPS ($) | 2.1 |
|---|---|
| Latest EPS ($) | 3.05 |
| Years between | 3 |
Results
| EPS growth | 45.24% |
|---|---|
| Annualized EPS growth | 13.25% |
With these inputs the calculator returns EPS growth: 45.24%. Change any value in the calculator to see how the result moves.
What if you change one input?
Sensitivity check: raising Earlier EPS ($) from 2.1 to 2.52 (about 20% higher) and leaving everything else as in the example above changes the results like this:
| Result | Example | After the change | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| EPS growth | 45.24% | 21.03% | -53.5% |
| Annualized EPS growth | 13.25% | 6.57% | -50.4% |
The input that moves the result most is the one to check twice. Change it in the calculator above to test your own case.
