RT @HiddenValueGems: The latest memo by @HowardMarksBook on market action earlier this month in the broader context of emotions vs fundamentals ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

โœ…"People often asked me to explain the sudden collapse [of stocks in early August]. I referred them to my 2016 memo On the Couch. Its key observation was that in the real world, things fluctuate between โ€˜pretty goodโ€™ and โ€˜not so hot,โ€™ but in investing, perception often swings from โ€˜flawlessโ€™ to โ€˜hopeless.โ€™ That says about 80% of what you need to know on the subject."

โ€ข10-Year Mean: 23.59x

โ€ขNTM FCF Yield: 4.14%
โ€ข10-Year Mean: 4.17%

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

Going forward, investors can receive ~13% MORE in earnings per share & roughly the same in FCF per share ๐Ÿง ***

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

BALANCE SHEETโœ…
โ€ขCash & Short-Term Inv: $100.73B
โ€ขLong-Term Debt: $11.88B

$GOOG has a strong balance sheet, an AA+ S&P Credit Rating & 303x FFO Interest Coverage

โ€ข2019: 16.4%
โ€ข2020: 16.2%
โ€ข2021: 27.6%
โ€ข2022: 26.1%
โ€ข2023: 28.1%
โ€ขLTM: 30.9%

โ€ข2019: 18.1%
โ€ข2020: 19.0%
โ€ข2021: 32.1%
โ€ข2022: 23.6%
โ€ข2023: 27.4%
โ€ขLTM: 30.9%

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

REVENUESโœ…
โ€ข2013: $55.52B
โ€ข2023: $307.39
โ€ขCAGR: 18.66%

FREE CASH FLOWโœ…
โ€ข2013: $11.30B
โ€ข2023: $69.50B
โ€ขCAGR: 19.91%

NORMALIZED EPSโœ…
โ€ข2013: $2.19
โ€ข2023: $5.80
โ€ขCAGR: 10.22%

SHARE BUYBACKSโœ…
โ€ข2018 Shares Outstanding: 14.07B
โ€ขLTM Shares Outstanding: 12.58B

By reducing its shares outstanding ~10.5%, $GOOG increased its EPS by ~11.7% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINSโœ…
โ€ขLTM Gross Margins: 57.6%
โ€ขLTM Operating Margins: 31.0%
โ€ขLTM Net Income Margins: 26.7%

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~13% MORE in EPS & roughly the same in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $GOOG has to grow earnings at a 10.45% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (10.45%) required growth rate:

2024E: $7.62 (31.5% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $8.68 (13.9% YoY)
2026E: $9.97 (14.8% YoY)

$GOOG has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโ€™s assume $GOOG ends 2026 with $9.97 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

24x P/E: $239.28๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~16.7% CAGR

23x P/E: $229.31๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~14.6% CAGR

22x P/E: $219.34๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.5% CAGR

As you can see, $GOOG appears to have attractive return potential if we assume >22x earnings (a multiple below its 5-year & 10-year mean)

At 23x - 24x earnings, $GOOG CAGR potential is excellent & itโ€™s not unreasonable for the business to trade for ~24x (given current growth rate estimates, its moat, balance sheet, & exemplary capital allocation)

Today at $168.00๐Ÿ’ต $GOOG appears to be an attractive consideration for investment

$GOOG presents excellent value & a wide margin of safety closer to $150๐Ÿ’ต or ~10% below todayโ€™s price

At $150๐Ÿ’ต, investors can reasonably expect ~13.4% CAGR even assuming 20x earnings
