Update: We have 3 spots left in the All Access program (and 383 people on the wait list)!

Apply below:

I have a confession.

I've been awful at marketing my coaching program and community for newsletter operators.

And now, there's just 5 spots left...

Let me explain:

We've turned down dozens of clients at my marketing agency (GrowLetter) because people can't afford it or we don't have the capacity for clients.

So, I created an alternative that's 10X less expensive...

A "done-with-you" service to help founders:

- Sell more sponsorships
- Grow their email list faster
- Convert subscribers into customers
- Get coaching and feedback from me
- Boost email engagement and deliverability
- And more...

It's called Newsletter Operator All Access.

There are over 100 members now, and 5 spots are left for new members in August and September.

Here's what's inside the program:

✅ 1on1 call with me.

✅ Bi-weekly group coaching call with me.

✅ Bi-weekly group coaching call on paid acquisition.

✅ Bi-weekly group coaching call on sponsorship sales with Katy Huff.

(Katy was the top salesperson at The Hustle. She's sold more newsletter ads than almost anyone.)

✅ Guest expert events and AMAs every month + access to all recordings.

Past and upcoming guests include:

- Tim Huelskamp - CEO of 1440
- Jason Pell - Former CTO at Agora
- Justin Moore - Founder of CreatorWizard
- Erika Burghardt - Head of Growth at 1440
- Ryan Heafy - Co-Founder and COO at 6 AM CITY
- Brad Wolverton - Editorial Director at The Hustle & HubSpot

✅ Access to my course, Newsletter Growth System, and future cohorts ($997+ value) for you and anyone on your team.

✅ An exclusive slack community of founders who have 10,243,000+ total active newsletter subscribers.

✅ And more...

As I said, we're only taking on 5 new members because I work with everyone 1on1.

A sober valuation analysis on $FDS 🧘🏽‍♂️

•NTM P/E Ratio: 23.96x
•10-Year Mean: 26.10x

•NTM FCF Yield: 4.05%
•10-Year Mean: 4.01%

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

Going forward, investors can receive ~9% MORE in earnings per share & ~1% MORE in FCF per share***

Before we discuss valuation, let’s analyze why $FDS is a high-quality business

BALANCE SHEET✅
•Cash & Short-Term Inv: $522.10M
•Long-Term Debt: $1.24B

RETURN ON CAPITAL✅
•2019: 34.7%
•2020: 25.4%
•2021: 24.9%
•2022: 15.2%
•2023: 18.9%
•LTM: 20.2%

RETURN ON EQUITY✅
•2019: 58.9%
•2020: 47.5%
•2021: 41.8%
•2022: 33.8%
•2023: 31.7%
•LTM: 28.8%

$FDS has strong return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business

REVENUES✅
•2013: $0.86B
•2023: $2.09B
•CAGR: 9.28%

FREE CASH FLOW✅
•2013: $251.29M
•2023: $584.79M
•CAGR: 8.81%

NORMALIZED EPS✅
•2013: $5.04
•2023: $14.55
•CAGR: 11.18%

$FDS consistent growth in revenues, free cash flow, & net income is impressive especially when you consider the company has increased its revenues & earnings annually since for +20 years

SHARE BUYBACKS✅
•2014 Shares Outstanding: 44.62M
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 38.68M

By reducing its shares outstanding ~13.3%, $FDS increased its EPS by ~15.3% (assuming 0 growth)

PAID DIVIDENDS✅
•2013: $1.32
•2023: $3.74
•CAGR: 10.97%

As you can see, $FDS is a quality business and the financials reflect its high % of recurring revenues 👌🏽

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~9% MORE in EPS & ~1% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $FDS has to grow earnings at an 11.98% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be less than the (11.98%) required growth rate:

2024E: $16.29 (12.0% YoY) *FY Aug

2025E: $17.43 (7.0% YoY)
2026E: $19.34 (11.0% YoY)

$FDS has a good track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $FDS ends 2026 with $19.34 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples:

26x P/E: $502.84💵 … ~12.5% CAGR

25x P/E: $483.50💵 … ~10.3% CAGR

24x P/E: $464.16💵 … ~8.1% CAGR

23x P/E: $444.82💵 … ~5.9% CAGR

As you can see, $FDS appears to have attractive return potential if we assume at least 25x earnings (a multiple slightly below its 10-year mean, but may not be justified given its lower growth rate & excessively elevated multiple from 2020-2023 which skewed the average multiple higher)

Today at $404💵 $FDS appears to getting closer to a price where it will be a good consideration for investment

Similar to the last analysis, I’d get more interested in $FDS at $385💵 or at ~22.85x NTM earnings (5% below todays price) where I can reasonably anticipate double-digit CAGR potential with a 24x end multiple
