As you can see, $TDG appears to be trading near fair value

Going forward, investors can receive ~3% MORE in earnings per share & ~3% MORE in FCF per share๐Ÿง ***

Before we get into valuation, letโ€™s take a look at why $TDG is an good business

BALANCE SHEET๐Ÿ†—
โ€ขCash & Short Term Inv: $2.81B

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~3% MORE in EPS & 3% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $TDG has to grow earnings at a 16.02% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2027 EPS growth over the next few years to be less than the (16.02%) required growth rate:

2025E: $36.96 (8.7% YoY) *FY Dec

2026E: $41.92 (13.4% YoY)
2027E: $48.07 (14.7% YoY)

$TDG has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out so letโ€™s assume $TDG ends 2027 with $48.07 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples:

33x P/E: $1586๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~10.6% CAGR

32x P/E: 1538๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~8.9% CAGR

31x P/E: $1490๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~7.2% CAGR

30x P/E: 1442๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~5.5% CAGR

29x P/E: $1394๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~3.7% CAGR

28x P/E: 1345๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~1.9% CAGR

As you can see, $TDG appears to have attractive return potential if we assume >33x EPS (near its 3-year mean) โ€” however, this leaves us with little margin of safety

On the other hand, current estimates may not accurately reflect future acquisitions, price increases, etc that could increase future growth expectations (a crucial part of $TDG long-term growth track record)

Today at $1295๐Ÿ’ต $TDG appears to be a fair consideration for investment with little margin of safety

I consider $TDG a strong consideration for investment closer to $1150๐Ÿ’ต (11% below todayโ€™s price, 28.45x NTM Est) where I could reasonably expect a ~12% CAGR while relying on a 30x end multiple

*Important for $AMZN to continue expanding margins & increase profitability

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~56% MORE in OCF & ~57% LESS in FCF per share

Weโ€™re using P/OCF instead of P/E as historical data reveals a stronger correlation between AMZN's share price and Operating Cash Flow (OCF)

Today, analysts anticipate aggressive OCF (per share) growth between 2025 - 2027:

2025E: $13.11 (21% YoY) *FY Dec

2026E: $16.21 (24% YoY)
2027E: $19.90 (23% YoY)

$AMZN has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโ€™s assume $AMZN ends 2027 with $19.90 in OCF per share & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples (photos attached below also include these CAGR estimates):

17x P/OCF: $338.24๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~21% CAGR

16x P/OCF: $318.34๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~18% CAGR

15x P/OCF: $298.45๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~14% CAGR

14x P/OCF: $278.55๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~11% CAGR

As you can see, $AMZN appears to have strong double-digit CAGR potential if we assume ~15x P/OCF, a multiple thatโ€™s justified given its growth rate & below its historical average

AWS & Amazon Ads will continue to drive growth & profitability. In $AMZN LTM:

โ˜๏ธAWS revenue: $116.38B
๐Ÿ“ˆAds revenue: $61.23B

Combined, these segments generated $177.61B net revenue โ€ฆ with ~37% Operating Income Margin

Today at $219๐Ÿ’ต $AMZN appears to be a good consideration for investment

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~4% MORE in EPS & 5% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $ASML has to grow earnings at a 14.94% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2028 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (14.94%) required growth rate:

2025E: $28.07 (22.0% YoY) *FY Dec

2026E: $29.84 (13.8% YoY)
2027E: $35.83 (21.3% YoY)
2028E: $40.00 (21.3% YoY)

$ASML has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out so letโ€™s assume $ASML ends 2028 with $40.00 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples:

31x P/E: $1240๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~14.5% CAGR

30x P/E: $1200๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~13.4% CAGR

29x P/E: $1160๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.2% CAGR

28x P/E: $1120๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~11.0% CAGR

27x P/E: $1080๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~9.8% CAGR

As you can see, $ASML appears to have attractive return potential if we assume greater or equal to 29x EPS (below its 10-year mean, current multiple, & justified given its quality, moat & growth rate if we consider its 15.77% EPS CAGR Estimates 2026-2028)

Today at $813๐Ÿ’ต $ASML appears to be a good consideration for investment, albeit with extreme volatility & a smaller margin of safety than when it traded for ~26x in May 2025 (when I considered it a โ€œstrong consideration for investmentโ€)

*Important for $AMZN to continue expanding margins & increase profitability

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~56% MORE in OCF & ~57% LESS in FCF per share

Weโ€™re using P/OCF instead of P/E as historical data reveals a stronger correlation between AMZN's share price and Operating Cash Flow (OCF)

Today, analysts anticipate aggressive OCF (per share) growth between 2025 - 2027:

2025E: $13.11 (21% YoY) *FY Dec

2026E: $16.21 (24% YoY)
2027E: $19.90 (23% YoY)

$AMZN has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโ€™s assume $AMZN ends 2027 with $19.90 in OCF per share & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples (photos attached below also include these CAGR estimates):

17x P/OCF: $338.24๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~21% CAGR

16x P/OCF: $318.34๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~18% CAGR

15x P/OCF: $298.45๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~14% CAGR

14x P/OCF: $278.55๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~11% CAGR

As you can see, $AMZN appears to have strong double-digit CAGR potential if we assume ~15x P/OCF, a multiple thatโ€™s justified given its growth rate & below its historical average

AWS & Amazon Ads will continue to drive growth & profitability. In $AMZN LTM:

โ˜๏ธAWS revenue: $116.38B
๐Ÿ“ˆAds revenue: $61.23B

Combined, these segments generated $177.61B net revenue โ€ฆ with ~37% Operating Income Margin

Today at $219๐Ÿ’ต $AMZN appears to be a good consideration for investment

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~16% MORE in EPS

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $MELI has to grow earnings at an 19.94% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2027 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (19.94%) required growth rate:

2025E: $44.33 (17.6% YoY)

2026E: $66.58 (50.2% YoY)
2027E: $89.03 (33.7% YoY)

$MELI has an ok track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but letโ€™s assume $MELI ends 2027 with $80.12 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

40x P/E: $3204๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~20.2% CAGR

38x P/E: $3044๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~17.5% CAGR

36x P/E: $2884๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~14.6% CAGR

34x P/E: $2724๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~11.7% CAGR

As you can see, $MELI appears to have attractive return potential IF we assume >34x earnings (a multiple justified by its growth rate & moat) & 2027 EPS -10% below estimates

$MELI boasts an expansive growth trajectory, fueled by powerful network effects that should drive sustained momentum

Key factors contributing to its promising outlook include ๐Ÿ”‘

1. Margin expansion

2. Unparalleled access to Latin America's burgeoning economy

3. Network effects & scale economies shared that produce self-reinforcing dynamics ensuring long-term competitiveness, among other things

These growth rates have to be revised down substantially for $MELI to miss the mark, even if the company grows earnings at 25% CAGR over the next 5 years, shareholders will likely end up with a great return

Today I consider $MELI a compelling consideration for investment at $2130๐Ÿ’ต

As stated above, investors can expect to receive about the same in EPS & ~7% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $ICE has to grow earnings at an 11.07% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2028 EPS growth over the next few years to be slightly more than the (11.07%) required growth rate:

2025E: $6.93 (14% YoY) *FY Dec

2026E: $7.66 (11% YoY)
2027E: $8.51 (11% YoY)
2028E: $9.55 (12% YoY)

$ICE has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but letโ€™s assume $ICE ends 2028 with $9.55 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

25x P/E: $238.75๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~13.9% CAGR

24x P/E: $229.20๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.5% CAGR

21x P/E: $200.55๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~8.1% CAGR

As you can see, weโ€™d have to assume ~23x earnings for $ICE to have double-digit CAGR potential

At 24x - 26x, $ICE can CAGR near the mid-teens

$ICE is a high-quality business with a wide-moat & generates ~65% of total revenue from their exchanges revenue โ€” the other ~35% from fixed income & data services revenue & mortgage technology

Though $ICE has traded for an average ~22x multiple over the past 5 years, I believe itโ€™s justified for it to trade for 24x - 26x given its predictability & moat, among other things

$ICE is also still founder led โ€” Jeff Sprecher (Founder & CEO) continues to be a brilliant leader with strategic foresight & a strong track record of executing complex integrations

Today at $162๐Ÿ’ต $ICE appears to be a good consideration for investment with a decent margin of safety

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~16% MORE in EPS

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $MELI has to grow earnings at an 19.94% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2027 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (19.94%) required growth rate:

2025E: $44.33 (17.6% YoY)

2026E: $66.58 (50.2% YoY)
2027E: $89.03 (33.7% YoY)

$MELI has an ok track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but letโ€™s assume $MELI ends 2027 with $80.12 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

40x P/E: $3204๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~20.2% CAGR

38x P/E: $3044๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~17.5% CAGR

36x P/E: $2884๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~14.6% CAGR

34x P/E: $2724๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~11.7% CAGR

As you can see, $MELI appears to have attractive return potential IF we assume >34x earnings (a multiple justified by its growth rate & moat) & 2027 EPS -10% below estimates

$MELI boasts an expansive growth trajectory, fueled by powerful network effects that should drive sustained momentum

Key factors contributing to its promising outlook include ๐Ÿ”‘

1. Margin expansion

2. Unparalleled access to Latin America's burgeoning economy

3. Network effects & scale economies shared that produce self-reinforcing dynamics ensuring long-term competitiveness, among other things

These growth rates have to be revised down substantially for $MELI to miss the mark, even if the company grows earnings at 25% CAGR over the next 5 years, shareholders will likely end up with a great return

Today I consider $MELI a compelling consideration for investment at $2130๐Ÿ’ต

As stated above, investors can expect to receive about the same in EPS & ~7% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $ICE has to grow earnings at an 11.07% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2028 EPS growth over the next few years to be slightly more than the (11.07%) required growth rate:

2025E: $6.93 (14% YoY) *FY Dec

2026E: $7.66 (11% YoY)
2027E: $8.51 (11% YoY)
2028E: $9.55 (12% YoY)

$ICE has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but letโ€™s assume $ICE ends 2028 with $9.55 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

25x P/E: $238.75๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~13.9% CAGR

24x P/E: $229.20๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.5% CAGR

22x P/E: $210.10๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~9.6% CAGR

21x P/E: $200.55๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~8.1% CAGR

As you can see, weโ€™d have to assume ~23x earnings for $ICE to have double-digit CAGR potential

At 24x - 26x, $ICE can CAGR near the mid-teens

$ICE is a high-quality business with a wide-moat & generates ~65% of total revenue from their exchanges revenue โ€” the other ~35% from fixed income & data services revenue & mortgage technology

Though $ICE has traded for an average ~22x multiple over the past 5 years, I believe itโ€™s justified for it to trade for 24x - 26x given its predictability & moat, among other things

$ICE is also still founder led โ€” Jeff Sprecher (Founder & CEO) continues to be a brilliant leader with strategic foresight & a strong track record of executing complex integrations

Today at $162๐Ÿ’ต $ICE appears to be a good consideration for investment with a decent margin of safety

Today at $5154๐Ÿ’ต $BKNG appears to be a fair consideration for investment

Iโ€™d consider $BKNG a great purchase closer to $4750 (~18.50x multiple) roughly 8% below todayโ€™s share price or closer to 20x NTM estimates

This is where I can reasonably expect ~12% CAGR assuming a more conservative 20x 2028 earnings estimates, ensuring a substantial margin of safety & leaving room for potential multiple expansion

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~24% MORE in EPS & ~10% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $MNST has to grow earnings at a 13.36% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be slightly more than the (13.36%) required growth rate:

2024E: $1.78 (15.8% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $2.04 (14.4% YoY)
2026E: $2.31 (13.3% YoY)

$MNST has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโ€™s assume $MNST ends 2026 with $2.31 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

32x P/E: $73.92๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~17.8% CAGR

28x P/E: $64.68๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~11.7% CAGR

As you can see, $MNST appears to have attractive return potential EVEN if we assume 28x earnings, a multiple substantially below its 5-year mean (32.24x) & 10-year mean (33.16x)

Today at $49๐Ÿ’ต $MNST appears to be an attractive consideration for investment
