•LTM Net Income Margins: 26.7%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~31% MORE in EPS & ~16% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $GOOG has to grow earnings at a 9.32% 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 (9.32%) required growth rate:

2024E: $7.63 (31.5% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $8.69 (14.0% YoY)
2026E: $9.97 (14.8% YoY)

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

23x P/E: $229.31💵 … ~20.5% CAGR

22x P/E: $219.34💵 … ~18.3% CAGR

21x P/E: $209.37💵 … ~16.0% CAGR

20x P/E: $199.40💵 … ~13.6% CAGR

19x P/E: $189.43💵 … ~11.2% CAGR

As you can see, $GOOG appears to have attractive return potential EVEN if we assume >19x earnings (a multiple well below its 5-year & 10-year mean)

At >20x earnings, $GOOG CAGR potential is excellent & it’s not unreasonable for the business to even trade for ~23x (given its growth rate, moat, balance sheet, & exemplary capital allocation)

Today at $149.50💵 $GOOG appears to be a strong consideration for investment

So the financials are giving market moving forward commentary at their conference, what's all this shit about conferences just regurgitating what was said on earnings calls...or is that a tech thing
