What Stanley Druckenmiller learned from George Soros:

"It doesn't matter if you're right or wrong ... but how much you make when you're right, and how much you lose when you're wrong."

"When you have tremendous conviction on a trade, you have to go for the jugular."

"If you're extremely confident, taking a loss doesn't bother you."

It takes 29 years to develop a new mine in the United States.

But yes, we'll have the metals we need to achieve Net Zero by 2050.

And we'll do it without China's help.

Lol.

I played NCAA 2025 for the first time tonight.

The game is worth the hype.

Probably the most fun Iโ€™ve had playing a sports video game in 10+ years.

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

โ€ขNTM P/E Ratio: 12.61x
โ€ข5-Year Mean: 14.00x

โ€ขNTM FCF Yield: 6.28%
โ€ข5-Year Mean: 7.00%

As you can see, $ELV appears to be trading somewhere near fair value

Going forward, investors can expect to receive ~11% MORE in earnings per share & ~10% LESS in FCF per share๐Ÿง ***

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

BALANCE SHEETโœ…
โ€ขCash & Equivalents: $6.50B
โ€ขTotal Investments: $37.15B
โ€ขLong-Term Debt: $24.56B

$ELV has a strong balance sheet, an A S&P Credit Rating & 7.83x FFO Interest Coverage Ratio

RETURN ON CAPITALโœ…
โ€ข2019: 12.3%
โ€ข2020: 14.7%
โ€ข2021: 14.3%
โ€ข2022: 13.6%
โ€ข2023: 14.7%
โ€ขLTM: 14.6%

RETURN ON EQUITYโœ…
โ€ข2019: 16.0%
โ€ข2020: 14.1%
โ€ข2021: 17.7%
โ€ข2022: 16.3%
โ€ข2023: 15.8%
โ€ขLTM: 16.6%

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

REVENUESโœ…
โ€ข2013: $71.02B
โ€ข2023: $171.34B
โ€ขCAGR: 9.20%

FREE CASH FLOWโœ…
โ€ข2013: $2.41B
โ€ข2023: $6.77B
โ€ขCAGR: 10.88%

NORMALIZED EPSโœ…
โ€ข2013: $8.52
โ€ข2023: $33.14
โ€ขCAGR: 14.54%

SHARE BUYBACKSโœ…
โ€ข2013 Shares Outstanding: 303.80M
โ€ขLTM Shares Outstanding: 234.95M

By reducing its shares outstanding ~22.6%, $ELV increases its EPS by ~29.1% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINS๐Ÿ†—
โ€ขLTM Gross Margins: 9.4%
โ€ขLTM Operating Margins: 6.1%
โ€ขLTM Net Income Margins: 3.9%

PAID DIVIDENDSโœ…
โ€ข2013: $1.50
โ€ข2023: $5.92
โ€ขCAGR: 14.71%

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~11% MORE in EPS & ~10% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $ELV has to grow earnings at a 6.31% 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 (6.31%) required growth rate:

2024E: $37.27 (12.4% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $41.71 (11.9% YoY)
2026E: $47.00 (12.7% YoY)

$ELV has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโ€™s assume $ELV ends 2026 with $47.00 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

15x P/E: $705.00๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~16.0% CAGR

14x P/E: $658.00๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.9% CAGR

13.5x P/E: $611.00๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~11.3% CAGR

13x P/E: $611.00๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~9.7% CAGR

As you can see, $ELV has attractive CAGR potential if we assume a >13.5x multiple (below its 14.00x 5-year mean & below its 14.21x 10-year mean)

This assumption is MORE than reasonable for a business thatโ€™s growing earnings at a >10% rate & has a strong history of linear earnings growth ( $ELV has increased EPS annually since 2008 ๐ŸŽฏ)

I also like the negative price correlation $ELV can have, relative to tech, in the short-term โ€ฆ adding a layer of safety in a portfolio

In short, $ELV appears to be a worthwhile consideration at $500๐Ÿ’ต
