MARGINSโœ…
โ€ขLTM Gross Margins: 58.1%
โ€ขLTM Operating Margins: 32.1%
โ€ขLTM Net Income Margins: 27.7%

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~1% MORE in EPS & ~10% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $GOOG has to grow earnings at an 11.74% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2027 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (11.74%) required growth rate:

2024E: $7.98 (37.7% YoY) *FY Dec

2025E: $9.00 (12.7% YoY)
2026E: $10.25 (13.9% YoY)
2027E: $11.86 (15.7% YoY)

$GOOG has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but letโ€™s assume $GOOG ends 2027 with $11.86 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

24x P/E: $274.64๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.1% CAGR

23x P/E: $272.78๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~10.4% CAGR

22x P/E: $260.92๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~8.7% CAGR

21x P/E: $249.06๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~7.0% CAGR

20x P/E: $237.20๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~5.2% CAGR

As you can see, $GOOG appears to have attractive return potential IF we assume >23x earnings (a multiple near its 5-year & 10-year mean)

At >24x earnings, $GOOG has aggressive CAGR potential & itโ€™s not unreasonable for the business to even trade for ~24x (given its growth rate, moat, balance sheet, & exemplary capital allocation)

Those buying $GOOG today at $206๐Ÿ’ต are getting a great business at a fair price

Between cloud โ˜๏ธ , AI ๐Ÿค– , quantum computing โš›๏ธ, $GOOG has a strong growth runway ahead

I consider $GOOG a strong buy with a substantial margin of safety closer to $180๐Ÿ’ต where I could conservatively expect double-digit CAGR while assuming a 20x multiple
