RT @DimitryNakhla: A sober valuation analysis on $UNH 🧘🏽‍♂️

•NTM P/E Ratio: 16.50x
•5-Year Mean: 19.67x

•NTM FCF Yield: 6.84%
•5-Year Mean: 5.86%

As you can see, $UNH appears to be trading below fair value

Going forward, investors can receive ~19% MORE in earnings per share & ~17% MORE in FCF per share 🧠***

Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at why $UNH is a great business

BALANCE SHEET✅
•Cash & Total Inv: $75.34B
•Long-Term Debt: $58.26B

$UNH has a strong balance sheet, an A+ S&P Credit Rating & 8.96x FFO Interest Coverage

•2019: 18.6%
•2020: 19.1%
•2021: 19.1%
•2022: 19.4%
•2023: 19.1%

RETURN ON EQUITY✅
•2019: 24.1%
•2020: 23.8%
•2021: 24.1%
•2022: 25.4%
•2023: 25.0%

$UNH has strong return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business

REVENUES✅
•2013: $122.49B
•2023: $371.62B
•CAGR: 11.73%

FREE CASH FLOW✅

•2023: $25.12
•CAGR: 16.40%

PAID DIVIDENDS✅
•2013: $1.05
•2023: $7.29
•CAGR: 21.38%

SHARE BUYBACKS✅
•2013 Shares Outstanding: 1.02B
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 0.94B

By reducing its shares outstanding ~7.8%, $UNH increased its EPS by ~8.4% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 14.6%
•LTM Operating Margins: 8.7%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 6.0%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~19% MORE in EPS & ~17% more in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $UNH has to grow earnings at a 8.25% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2025 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (8.25%) required growth rate

However, consider the recent Medicare Rate Decision, I’ve assumed only a 10% EPS growth rate for 2025 & 2026 💡 (well below the current expected rates of 12.8% for both years):

2024E: $27.77 (10.6% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $30.54 (10.0% YoY)
2026E: $33.59 (10.0% YoY)

$UNH has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $UNH ends 2026 with $33.59 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

19x P/E: $638.21💵 … ~14.3% CAGR

18x P/E: $604.62💵 … ~12.1% CAGR

17x P/E: $571.03💵 … ~9.9% CAGR

As you can see, $UNH appears to have attractive return potential even if we assume 18x earnings (a multiple below both its 5-year & 10-year mean) & a reduced growth rate

That’s a great rate of return for an excellent capital allocator & wide-moat recession-proof business like $UNH

Today at $458💵 $UNH appears to be a strong consideration for investment

However, keep in mind how volatile $UNH (and all health insurers) can get amid regulatory & political risks

Those considering $UNH would be wise to piece into the position, leaving room for additional purchases if $UNH continues to trade down to an even more attractive valuation

E.g. 1/3 of the purchase at $458💵, another 1/3 at $410💵, & 1/3 at $380💵

Hidden Value Gems
Had some questions about Kistos on my blog. My latest update was in Nov 2023. A bit puzzled by the gas storage deal, especially with so few details revealed. Ok to hold the stock, but not rushing to buy more with so many other cheap oil companies around.
Am I missing anything?

Nothing will irritate European regulators more than $TSLA Robotaxis making public transport redundant.

I can’t wait.

Up 317% since. Will be at least a 10 bagger if my thesis plays out.

Do you think it will play out?

I have now doubled the number of $SPOT shares I own at $97.50/share. - Antonio Linares
