Guardian article on Sharon White tenure at John Lewis (Oct-23)
"One former staffer said White was failing to listen enough, and was ill-equipped for the job despite boundless self-belief"
"One former adviser said missteps emerged as White built a team who were “all theory people”, and made changes without listening enough"
"Another source and several former staffers agreed: “Her people judgment has been really poor.”"
"The source said White was used to the “genteel decorum of civil service life”"

A sober valuation analysis on $CPRT 🧘🏽♂️
•NTM P/E Ratio: 31.44x
•10-Year Mean: 27.81x
•NTM FCF Yield: 2.49%
•10-Year Mean: 2.96%
As you can see, $CPRT appears to be trading slightly above fair value
Going forward, investors can expect to receive ~11% LESS in earnings per share & ~16% LESS in FCF per share🧠***
Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at why $CPRT is a super business
BALANCE SHEET✅
•Cash & Equivalents: $3.42B
•Long-Term Debt: $0
$CPRT has an excellent balance sheet
RETURN ON CAPITAL✅
•2020: 26.5%
•2021: 27.6%
•2022: 28.5%
•2023: 24.0%
•2024: 20.3%
RETURN ON EQUITY✅
•2020: 32.8%
•2021: 31.1%
•2022: 26.7%
•2023: 23.3%
•2024: 20.1%
$CPRT return metrics are excellent, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business
REVENUES✅
•2014: $1.16B
•2024: $4.23B
•CAGR: 13.79%
FREE CASH FLOW✅
•2014: $166.78M
•2024: $961.57M
•CAGR: 19.14%
NORMALIZED EPS✅
•2014: $0.20
•2024: $1.40
•CAGR: 21.48%
SHARE BUYBACKS🆗
•2014 Shares Outstanding: 1.00B
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 959.06M
By reducing its shares outstanding ~4.1%, $CPRT increased its EPS by ~4.2% (assuming 0 growth)
MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 49.0%
•LTM Operating Margins: 37.1%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 32.2%
***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~11% LESS in EPS & ~16% LESS FCF per share
Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $CPRT has to grow earnings at a 15.72% 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 (15.72%) required growth rate:
2025E: $1.58 (11.2% YoY) *FY Jul
2026E: $1.75 (10.4% YoY)
2027E: $1.95 (11.6% YoY)
$CPRT has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but let’s assume $CPRT ends FY 2027 with $1.95 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
32x P/E: $62.40💵 … ~8.3% CAGR
30x P/E: $58.50💵 … ~5.9% CAGR
28x P/E: $54.60💵 … ~3.4% CAGR
26x P/E: $50.70💵 … ~0.8% CAGR
As you can see, we’d have to assume >32x earnings for $CPRT to have double digit CAGR potential
Although $CPRT is a super business, I am not willing to rely on >32x as this leaves us with no margin of safety
Today at $49.50💵 $CPRT appears to be a hold & worth keeping an eye on
I’d be more interested in $CPRT closer to $44.00💵 or at ~28x NTM earnings where I can reasonably expect ~10.26% CAGR assuming a 30x multiple
However, at that price I’d likely initiate 50% of the position & build a full position if $CPRT reaches $40.00💵

I love how many people have been calling the new $GME squeeze for years, and those who follow them have lost a lot of money.
People who bought $AMC have lost 99% of their money.
People who bought $BB have lost 95% of their money.
People who bought $CLOV have lost 90% of their money.
People who bought $BBBY have lost 100% of their money.
People who bought $BIG have lost 95% of their money.
People who bought $MBLY have lost 65% of their money.
Just remember, 1% of them make money, and 99% of them lose money. It is probably worse than crypto.
