How the Earnings Multiple method works

Earnings per share are grown for the chosen number of years, with growth slowing each year from the starting rate to the terminal rate, and then multiplied by the exit P/E ratio to estimate a future share price. That future price is discounted back to today at your required annual return, which gives the most you can pay now and still earn that return.

Fair Value = EPS in Year n × Exit P/E ÷ (1 + r)ⁿ
