Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen explains why your initial vision for your company is probably wrong

When Ryan first applied to Y Combinator he wanted Flexport to be โ€œTurboTax for customs.โ€ But that vision changed a lot. As Ryan explains:

โ€œThe more you learn and the more customers you talk to and the more vendors you talk to, the more you realize how screwed up the world is in this space. Then [the vision] actually gets bigger and bigger and keeps expanding.โ€

Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan says this is a common pattern he sees in startups too:

โ€œThereโ€™s a misconception that you wake up from a haze and youโ€™re like โ€˜This is it. This is the vision.โ€ But the story is actually โ€˜Oh hereโ€™s this thing that I know I can solve.โ€™ And then once you solve it and people really like it, it sort of expands and expands.โ€

Ryan concludes:

โ€œIf a founder is too certain of exactly what the vision is and what the productโ€™s going to look like and how itโ€™s all going to work, theyโ€™re probably wrong. The world is super messy.โ€

โ€ข10-Year Mean: 33.66x

โ€ขNTM FCF Yield: 3.44%
โ€ข10-Year Mean: 3.70%

As you can see, $INTU appears to be trading somewhere near fair value & over fair value

Going forward, investors can receive ~5% MORE in earnings per share & ~7# LESS in FCF per share ๐Ÿง ***

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

BALANCE SHEETโœ…
โ€ขCash & Short-Term Inv: $4.07B
โ€ขLong-Term Debt: $5.54B

$INTU has a strong balance sheet, an A- S&P Credit Rating & 20x FFO Interest Coverage

โ€ข2021: 27.5%
โ€ข2022: 15.7%
โ€ข2023: 14.1%
โ€ข2024: 16.6%

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

REVENUESโœ…
โ€ข2014: $4.51
โ€ข2024: $16.29B
โ€ขCAGR: 13.70%

FREE CASH FLOWโœ…*
โ€ข2014: $1.34B
โ€ข2024: $4.69B
โ€ขCAGR: 13.34%

NORMALIZED EPSโœ…

PAID DIVIDENDSโœ…
โ€ข2014: $0.76
โ€ข2024: $3.60
โ€ขCAGR: 16.82%

SHARE BUYBACKS๐Ÿ†—
โ€ข2014 Shares Outstanding: 291.00M
โ€ขLTM Shares Outstanding: 284.00M

By reducing its shares outstanding ~2.4%, $INTU increased its EPS by ~2.5% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINSโœ…
โ€ขLTM Gross Margins: 79.6%
โ€ขLTM Operating Margins: 23.7%
โ€ขLTM Net Income Margins: 18.2%

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~5% MORE in EPS & ~7% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $INTU has to grow earnings at a 15.95% 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 (15.95%) required growth rate:

2025E: $19.34 (14.1% YoY) *FY Jul
2026E: $22.24 (15.0% YoY)
2027E: $25.41 (14.3% YoY)

$INTU has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but letโ€™s assume $INTU ends 2027 with $25.41 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples:

32x P/E: $708.16๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~10.9% CAGR

31x P/E: $686.03๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~9.6% CAGR

30x P/E: $663.90๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~8.4% CAGR

29x P/E: $641.77๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~7.1% CAGR

While itโ€™s certainly reasonable for $INTU to trade for 32x, I wouldnโ€™t want to rely on that assumption as it doesnโ€™t leave us with a substantial margin of safety (given todayโ€™s $619๐Ÿ’ต share price)

Iโ€™d consider $INTU a strong purchase with a substantial margin of safety closer to $570๐Ÿ’ต, or ~29.40 NTM earnings (~8% below todays price)

Given todayโ€™s estimates, at $570๐Ÿ’ต I can reasonably expect ~10.3% CAGR while assuming a 29x end multiple
