Nothing Phone (3a) Series

Honestly, I am very impressed by the value that these phones offer.

The (3a) Pro is an even better value, considering that you can get a periscope telephoto camera for around half the price of the Galaxy S25.

Aside from that, the design is still very eye-catching.

(And that Blue (3a) looks awesome)

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~42% MORE in EPS & ~15% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $NVDA has to grow earnings at a 12.68% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2026 - 2028 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (12.68%) required growth rate:

2026E: $4.50 (50.4% YoY) *FY Jan
2026E: $5.72 (27.2% YoY)
2027E: $6.42 (12.3% YoY)

$NVDA has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but let’s assume $NVDA ends 2027 with $6.42 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

28x P/E: $179.76💵 … ~18.0% CAGR

27x P/E: $173.34💵 … ~16.5% CAGR

26x P/E: $166.92💵 … ~15.0% CAGR

25x P/E: $160.50💵 … ~13.5% CAGR

24x P/E: $154.08💵 … ~11.9% CAGR

23x P/E: $147.66💵 … ~10.3% CAGR

As you can see, $NVDA appears to have attractive return potential EVEN IF we assume some multiple compression relying on 24x earnings, a multiple generally below its historical averages & a multiple that’s justified given the company’s growth rate & moat

$NVDA is a good consideration today at $111💵

Given its volatility & high uncertainty, I’d likely strategically buy in tranches, enhancing margin of safety, while positioning myself to win-win regardless of short-term price action

E.g. purchase 1/3 at ~$111, 1/3 at ~$90, & 1/3 at ~$77

If the stock price goes 📉 I can accumulate more shares at an even more attractive valuation, if the stock price goes 📈 I’m in the green
