$PYPL First Target has now been hit in the PM.

$PYPL very nice test of the 50 and 200 Day MA for support and bounced

Moving well leading up to earnings tomorrow before the market opens.

First Target is at $71 if this gets a clean breakout.

They need a flawless report now, no surprises and improving margins. https://t.co/nPgUApsqHh

$PYPL now up 40% in 6 months.

Nice

$PYPL is up 32% over the last 6 months

This not a meme stock

It’s a $70 Billion market cap company and to be up 32% in a half a year is not a bad performance.

You want a steady climb in the right direction, you don’t want parabolic moves, charts break down when this happens.

$BTC ETF started trading today in Hong Kong and did not start well but are we surprised?

The chart already showed the 50 Day MA rejected on the 23rd of April

Don’t fight the trend, take advantage of it and load up when the pull back is complete

$BTC I have white circled the moment the price hit the 50 Day MA on Tuesday and Weds this week and rejected.

The $SPY is now testing the 50 Day MA from below.

$BTC looks to be a few days ahead of the market....is this an indication of what will happen to the $SPY next? https://t.co/EjYfUyq6Lg

Every investor needs a north star. This is mine:

1. Stocks are pieces of a company. A stock goes up 10X if the company's free cash flow per share levels go up 10X too.
2. To do that, a company needs to increase its earning power while increasing its defensibility. Often, this means that profits have to be pushed far out into the future.
3. We live in a network-defined economy, in which every industry is increasingly tending towards a winner-takes-all scenario. To truly understand companies today, you need to understand networks.
4. Networks are built via process power - by taking repeated actions everyday that convince the world to do business in your servers. From process power emerge all the moats that are relevant in the modern economy, like network effects, switching costs and branding.
5. Companies with extraordinary process power tend to multiply their revenue over time and are hard to disrupt, because their moat just keeps getting stronger. The focus of their process power tends to be on their customers.
6. Financials are the rearview mirror and qualitatives are the windscreen. When customer centricity and/or process power is lost, the company is on its way to fail. An obsession with end customers and willingness to experiment and self-canibalize / tolerance of failure will likely equate to financial success over the long term.
7. Moats eventually compound to create platforms, whereby the company in question brings a good/service to the world with an unattainable price/quality ratio. This privilege is reserved for the select few companies on Earth that have truly outstanding process power and extraordinary capital allocation skills. These companies are the 100 baggers of the world.

A sober valuation analysis on $SBUX 🧘🏽‍♂️

•NTM P/E Ratio: 21.32x
•10-Year Mean: 28.64x

•NTM FCF Yield: 4.22%
•10-Year Mean: 3.17%

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

Going forward, investors can expect to receive ~34% MORE in earnings per share & ~33% MORE in FCF per share🧠***

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

BALANCE SHEET🆗
•Cash & Equivalents: $3.95B
•Long-Term Debt: $13.59B

$SBUX has a decent balance sheet, a BBB+ S&P Credit Rating & 10.92x FFO Interest Coverage Ratio

RETURN ON CAPITAL
•2018: 34.9%
•2019: 76.4%
•2020: 9.0%
•2021: 25.5%
•2022: 29.1%
•2023: 33.2%

RETURN ON EQUITY🆗
•2018: 136.2%
•2019: (142.2%)
•2020: (13.2%)
•2021: (64.1%)
•2022: (46.9%)
•2023: (49.4%)

$SBUX has solid return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business

REVENUES
•2013: $14.87B
•2023: $35.98B
•CAGR: 9.23%

FREE CASH FLOW
•2013: $1.76B
•2023: $3.68B
•CAGR: 7.65%

NORMALIZED EPS
•2013: $1.10
•2023: $3.54
•CAGR: 12.39%

SHARE BUYBACKS
•2013 Shares Outstanding: 1.52B
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 1.15B

By reducing its shares outstanding ~24%, $SBUX increased its EPS by ~31% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINS
•LTM Gross Margins: 27.4%
•LTM Operating Margins: 15.4%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 11.5%

PAID DIVIDENDS
•2013: $0.45
•2023: $2.16
•CAGR: 16.98%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~34% MORE in EPS & ~33% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $SBUX has to grow earnings at an 10.62% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be greater than the (10.13%) required growth rate:

2024E: $4.01 (13.3% YoY) *FY Sep
2025E: $4.65 (16.0% YoY)
2026E: $5.36 (15.3% YoY)

$SBUX has a good track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, BUT let’s assume $SBUX ends 2026 with $5.10 in EPS (5% below current estimates) & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

22x P/E: $112.20💵 … ~13.1% CAGR

21x P/E: $107.10💵 … ~11.0% CAGR

20x P/E: $102.00💵 … ~8.9% CAGR

As you can see EVEN when we assume a 20x - 21x multiple (a level that has rarely been breached in the past decade as you’ll see in the P/E chart) AND EVEN when we assume a 5% lower earnings estimate in 2026, $SBUX has attractive CAGR potential

So, there’s already a decent margin of safety 💪🏽

When we assume >22x (also well below its 10-year average and on the lower end of its valuation range), $SBUX has the potential to compound in the mid-teens

$SBUX appears to be an attractive consideration today at $88.00💵
