Copart stock price 2027–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If Copart's earnings keep growing at the 6.9% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 2.02 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (18.7 to 36.9) that is 37.75 to 74.53 a share, or 55.99 at its average P/E of 27.7. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | 1.62 | 30.25 | 44.86 | 59.71 |
| FY2028 | 1.77 | 33.05 | 49.02 | 65.25 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 1.89 | 35.32 | 52.39 | 69.73 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 2.02 | 37.75 | 55.99 | 74.53 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 6.9% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (18.7, 27.7, 36.9).
Is Copart stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
Copart's P/E of 20.4 is below the middle of its 5-year range (8.5 to 44.6, median 34.6). Analysts expect slower growth than in recent years, so the low P/E may be deserved. Buyers pay about the usual price for each point of growth: a PEG of 3.0 on expected growth against 3.5 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. At its usual P/E (34.6 × EPS of 1.56), Copart's fair value is 54.02; the price, 31.85, is 41.0% below it. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2027, is 19.7.
Fair value is the usual (median) P/E of the last five years times the earnings per share of the last twelve months; the ends of the bar are the same earnings at its lowest and highest P/E of those years (8.5 and 44.6). The price against its P/E range
