โ€œI think I could make you 50% a year on $1 million. No, I know I could. I guarantee that." - Warren Buffett

99% of today's investors invest like 93-ear old Buffett.
Instead, they should invest like young Buffett.

I studied Buffettโ€™s Letters from 1956-1966. Here's his strategy๐Ÿ‘‡ https://t.co/rZjU8mApXM

This is a very interesting insight into metals sentiment.

Despite record prices and a great 2024, NOBODY cares about metals.

Just like the labor force, itโ€™s getting harder to find investors that give a damn about these markets.

Metals Investors in Vancouver. Same old crowd. Metal prices not improving attendance. New people R taking over I have no idea who they R. Coffin & Kaiser R the main draw 4 me. New people R just paid IR people who can tell jokes but no analysis. Probably MIF folds by year end

I see $AMD's stock soaring past $600/share, driven by an innovative product roadmap that remains misunderstood by the market.

The tech industry is currently fixated on AI, largely driven by GPU sales. Yet, $AMD enjoys a unique advantage, as each of its business divisions serves as a distribution channel for its core AI technologies.

This strategic distribution advantage is poised to bolster $AMD's financial performance in the coming years.

AI technology is set to extend beyond GPUs and will infiltrate various computing platforms over the next decade, including smartphones, PCs, vehicles, and household devices.

$AMD's expertise in chiplet technology ideally positions it to integrate AI features across its product range.

Over time, this strategy is likely to yield greater benefits than merely competing with $NVDA in the GPU sectorโ€”a field where $AMD is already making significant strides.

By developing chiplet-based GPUs that deliver competitive performance and enhancing its ROCm software, $AMD could seize market share from $NVDA.

Additionally, applying this technology across its diverse business sectors amplifies $AMD's overall chances of success.

The potential gains from taking market share from $NVDA are significant, along with the opportunity to become a premier provider of AI-integrated PCs.

Furthermore, $AMD can explore these avenues without bearing significant additional costs, thanks to the versatility of its chiplet architecture across multiple product lines.

With a strong distribution network already in place in the PC (CPU) market, $AMD is well-equipped to leverage its AI advancements in personal computing, even if it doesnโ€™t surpass $NVDA in GPU sales.

This makes $AMD's entry into the AI domain a strategic and asymmetric move.

Looking ahead, personalized computing seems to be the future trend. Companies will increasingly demand customized computational solutions, an area where $AMD's strengths are set to intensify.

While competitors like $INTC and $NVDA may eventually master chiplets too to compete in AI and provide customized computing platforms, such a shift will take time, providing $AMD a significant lead.

A sober valuation analysis on $HD ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

โ€ขNTM P/E Ratio: 22.57x
โ€ข10-Year Mean: 20.72x

โ€ขNTM FCF Yield: 4.74%
โ€ข10-Year Mean: 5.12%

As you can see, $HD appears to be trading slightly above fair value

Going forward, investors can expect to receive ~8% LESS in earnings per share & ~7% LESS in FCF per share๐Ÿง ***

Before we get into valuation, letโ€™s take a look at why $HD is a quality business

BALANCE SHEET๐Ÿ†—
โ€ขCash & Equivalents: $3.76B
โ€ขLong-Term Debt: $40.60B

$HD has an ok balance sheet, an A S&P Credit Rating & 10.90x FFO Interest Coverage Ratio

RETURN ON CAPITALโœ…
โ€ข2019: 56.7%
โ€ข2020: 45.3%
โ€ข2021: 38.2%
โ€ข2022: 50.7%
โ€ข2023: 44.7%
โ€ข2024: 39.4%

RETURN ON EQUITY๐Ÿ†—
โ€ขIn the thousands & negative in some years (due to heavy use of debt)

$HD has decent return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business

REVENUESโœ…
โ€ข2014: $78.81B
โ€ข2024: $152.67B
โ€ขCAGR: 6.83%

FREE CASH FLOWโœ…
โ€ข2014: $6.24B
โ€ข2024: $17.95B
โ€ขCAGR: 11.14%

LONG TERM DEBT๐Ÿค”
โ€ข2014: $14.69B
โ€ข2024: $40.60B
โ€ขCAGR: 10.70%

NORMALIZED EPSโœ…
โ€ข2014: $3.76
โ€ข2024: $15.11
โ€ขCAGR: 14.92%

SHARE BUYBACKSโœ…
โ€ข2014 Shares Outstanding: 1.43B
โ€ขLTM Shares Outstanding: 1.00B

By reducing its shares outstanding ~30%, $HD increased its EPS by ~43% (assuming 0 growth)

PAID DIVIDENDSโœ…
โ€ข2014: $1.64
โ€ข2024: $8.52
โ€ขCAGR: 17.91%

MARGINS๐Ÿ†—
โ€ขLTM Gross Margins: 33.4%
โ€ขLTM Operating Margins: 14.2%
โ€ขLTM Net Income Margins: 9.9%

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~8% LESS in EPS & ~7% LESS FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $HD has to grow earnings at an 11.29% 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 (11.29%) required growth rate:

2025E: $15.35 (1.6% YoY) *FY January
2026E: $16.37 (6.6% YoY)
2027E: $17.56 (7.3% YoY)

$HD has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but letโ€™s assume $HD ends 2027 with $17.56 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

23x P/E: $403.88๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~8.7% CAGR

21x P/E: $368.76๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~5.0% CAGR

20x P/E: $351.20๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~3.1% CAGR

As you can see, EVEN when we assume 23x earnings โ€” a multiple WELL above $HD mean (20.72x) & near the highest end of its range, $HD has subpar return potential

$HD also has some cyclicality to it & relying on estimates ~3 years from now adds a layer of risk (the further you extrapolate, the greater chance of error)

Given all this, and its hefty rising debt levels, $HD certainly doesnโ€™t appear attractive today at $346.43๐Ÿ’ต

Iโ€™d reconsider $HD closer to $284๐Ÿ’ต or at ~18.50x forward estimates (~18% below todayโ€™s price) where I can possibly expect near double digit return potential assuming a 20x end multiple in 2027

$DAL HSBC PT of $72.80

DELTA AIRLINES $DAL initiated at 'Buy' with $72.80 price-target at HSBC:

"We initiate on Delta Air Lines with a Buy rating and a target price of USD72.80. This is our preferred play among the US airlines under our coverage. We like its strong network mix and competitive positioning at all of its key hubs, which offers a rich mix of traffic, evident from management commentary, but also from the rising revenue from premium cabins, which has risen to 43% in 2023, from only 18% in 2015.

The company maintains a focus on the premium segment, which should result in healthy operating margins for the company. Moreover, Delta is the only player with non-unionized labor. Yet, Delta pays its employees very well and shares profit, which helps management to maintain good employee relationships and significantly lowers the risk of strikes. On the financial KPIs, the company has a strong balance sheet, with net debt/EBITDA of only 2.7x, a strong FCF yield (we forecast a post capex FCF yield of 11.4% per annum over the next four years) and healthy profit margins."
