Big news yesterday for the cannabis industry.

IMO, the best way to play it is through $MAPS given that tax savings will get reinvested into marketing.

The r/r remains compelling given that the no-resch scenario got taken off the table.

I am sharing my original write-up below.

Big news yesterday for $MSOS

IMO, the best way to play the industry-wide catalyst is through $MAPS given that 280e tax savings will get reinvested into marketing.

The dominant advertising platform should benefit disproportionately.

Exit activity has shrunk in Q1 2024 to a 3-year low. No wonder why secondary volumes are increasing both LPs & GPs turn to the secondary market for liquidity reasons.

Seems like the market though that $AMD could chip away at $NVDA’s marketshare in two quarters.

It will take 5 years at least, in case of success.

@alc2022 Morning, what were thoughts on $AMD? A bit uninspring no? - Ryan

Spending 8+ hours without the internet is hard. Not sure what is easier - staying without caffeine or internet 💺

As a value investor, I couldn't afford $35 on flight wifi (my monthly broadband cost) 🛜

Besides, you can focus better without distracting messages…

RT @TheLongInvest: $PFE Earnings due on Weds before the market opens.

$22 would be the sweet spot to add

But has this beaten down stock got the ability to drop another 15% to get there?

Trying to catch the bottom is normally not a good idea. https://t.co/cN5K7uaQNa

$PFE bounced within the 0. 618 Fib - 0.78 Fib in 2009

It is showing signs of bouncing in this range now too.

It may be the ultimate cyclical stock and a 5.95% dividend too.

Very attractive long term hold. https://t.co/2cD5yeGfnl - The Long Investor

In the grand tapestry of market dynamics, each stock inevitably navigates its share of trials. Yet within this flux, discernment prevails: between enduring oblivion and transient setback lies the fertile ground of opportunity, where astute investors distinguish between the perishable and the perennial.

You won't find the answer to "proper diversification" in any investment textbook.

And that's because they won't tell you that the answer is equal parts Korean BBQ and Copper.

Congrats to all those that survived the Metals Bear Market of 2024.

I will be sharing an updated analysis on $SBUX tomorrow morning — in short, the earnings report was very poor & despite its value proposition, I believe it’s wise to approach the next few quarters with patience, allowing for the “sand to settle”

#stocks #investing

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💵

$SBUX reports earnings today after close 🗓️
