Rate of return by buying shares of ARO

In the cash flows we see that when you buy shares of ARO can expect a rate of return on our investment of between 42% and 53% at 10 years assuming a final PER of 10, which I consider prudent due to increased action and low, non-existent debt. ARO therefore exceeds the fourth criterion of equity research.
