The really big opportunities in life will be very few. So when you find a Lollapalooza, and you can see it, don't hang back like a timid rabbit. Step boldly and grab it. And don't do it small.

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~2% LESS in EPS & ~26% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $NVDA has to grow earnings at a 17.67% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2027 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (17.67%) required growth rate:

2025E: $2.74 (111.4% YoY) *FY Jan
2026E: $3.73 (36.0% YoY)
2027E: $4.34 (16.4% YoY)

$NVDA has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $NVDA ends 2027 with $4.34 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

33x P/E: $143.22💵 … ~13.6% CAGR

32x P/E: $138.88💵 … ~12.3% CAGR

31x P/E: $134.54💵 … ~10.9% CAGR

30x P/E: $130.20💵 … ~9.4% CAGR

29x P/E: $125.86💵 … ~8.0% CAGR

As you can see, $NVDA appears to have attractive return potential IF we assume >31x earnings, a multiple below its 10-year mean & a multiple that‘a justified given the company’s growth rate & moat

Although my research leads me to believe that $NVDA is a fair consideration today at $104💵, I am personally less inclined to buy at these levels & would strongly consider $NVDA closer to $95💵 where I could reasonably expect ~12% CAGR assuming a 29x end multiple
