I discussed five stock ideas with my subscribers this Sunday. The first ideas was Clarkson Plc.

✅The market views it as a cyclical stock, not giving credit to its more secular revenue streams (recurring research subscription), its asset light business model and strong cash generation.

My second idea for premium subscribers was actually Philips which is up 40% today. A rare coincidence. I am rarely so lucky or smart, and I don’t own it, only benefiting through Exor. https://t.co/a0JtlCxK7o

A sober valuation analysis on $PYPL 🧘🏽‍♂️

•NTM P/E Ratio: 12.84x
•5-Year Mean: 31.51x

•NTM FCF Yield: 7.71%
•5-Year Mean: 4.94%

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

Going forward, investors can receive ~145% MORE in earnings per share & ~56% MORE in FCF per share 🧠***

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

BALANCE SHEET✅
•Cash & Short-Term Inv: $14.06B
•Long-Term Debt: $9.68B

$PYPL has an excellent balance sheet, an A- S&P Credit Rating, & 13.96x FFO Interest Coverage

RETURN ON CAPITAL✅
•2019: 12.4%
•2020: 11.5%
•2021: 13.6%
•2022: 12.7%
•2023: 14.8%

RETURN ON EQUITY✅
•2019: 15.2%
•2020: 22.7%
•2021: 20.0%
•2022: 11.5%
•2023: 20.5%

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

REVENUES✅
•2018: $15.45B
•2023: $29.77B
•CAGR: 14.01%

FREE CASH FLOW✅*
•2015: $1.82B
•2023: $4.22B
•CAGR: 11.08%

*2015 start as $PYPL FCF declined ~10% from 2018 - 2023

NORMALIZED EPS✅
•2018: $2.42
•2023: $5.10
•CAGR: 18.74%

SHARE BUYBACKS✅
•2018 Shares Outstanding: 1.20B
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 1.11B

By reducing its shares outstanding by 7.5%, $PYPL increased its EPS by 8.1% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 39.6%
•LTM Operating Margins: 16.3%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 14.3%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~145% MORE in EPS & ~56% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $PYPL has to grow earnings at a 6.42% 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 above the (6.42%) required growth rate:

2024E: $5.14 (0.8% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $5.65 (10.0% YoY)
2026E: $6.14 (8.7% YoY)

$PYPL has an ok track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but let’s assume $PYPL ends 2026 with $6.14 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

18x P/E: $110.52💵 … ~21.3% CAGR

16x P/E: $98.24💵 … ~16.0% CAGR

14x P/E: $85.96💵 … ~10.4% CAGR

As you can see, $PYPL appears to have attractive return potential if we assume >14x earnings & aggressive return potential if we assume >16x earnings

The 🔑 here is not for $PYPL multiple to regress to its mean. Instead, a slight increase in the multiple (well-below it’s historical average) would suffice & I believe is more than reasonable & is still within the realm of a strong margin of safety

There’s still a ton of negative sentiment around $PYPL and this sentiment can be flipped in just a couple of quarters if management continues to advance towards its goals

I believe they will — however, investors concerned with “turnaround risks” associated with $PYPL can still benefit through a smaller % to $PYPL

Today at $66💵 $PYPL appears to be a strong consideration for investment

A dividend announcement would likely also be well-taken @acce

Predictions for the coming years:

1. $MSFT's AI Copilots will evolve into a fundamental, pervasive tool, blending seamlessly into daily life.
2. $PLTR will rise as the initial platform for entrepreneurs to start their businesses.
3. $AMD will challenge $NVDA’s supremacy by leveraging its early lead in chiplet technology, a strategy $NVDA will struggle to offset.
4. $AMZN’s free cash flow will reach unprecedented levels, propelled by significant operational leverage from its latest capital investments and incoming AI models.
5. $SPOT will establish itself as the $GOOG of audio, becoming the primary platform for music streaming and audio content.
6. $TSLA will redefine global material production, creating an era of abundance with efficient manufacturing, cost-effective energy, and widespread artificial intelligence.

A break above $30 and this gets very interesting.

$42 is the target then. https://t.co/E2YzGYX1KR

$TSLA if you missed the entry and $144, then don't go chasing now

Experienced investors NEVER chase.

The market will always give you a second chance

Let the pull back make a higher low and this is your entry.
