•5-Year Mean: 25.26x

•NTM FCF Yield: 3.04%
•5-Year Mean: 3.39%

As you can see, $META appears to be trading near fair value

Going forward, investors can expect to receive ~12% MORE in earnings per share & ~10% LESS in FCF per share🧠***

MARGINS✅

•LTM Operating Margins: 41.5%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 37.9%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~12% MORE in EPS & ~10% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $META has to grow earnings at an 11.22% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2027 EPS growth over the next few years to be slightly greater than the (11.22%) required growth rate:

2025E: $24.75 (3.7% YoY) *FY Dec
2026E: $28.36 (14.6% YoY)
2027E: $32.96 (16.2% YoY)

$META has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $META ends 2027 with $32.96 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

24x P/E: $791.04💵 … ~15.7% CAGR

23x P/E: $758.08💵 … ~13.9% CAGR

22x P/E: $725.12💵 … ~12.0% CAGR

21x P/E: $692.16💵 … ~10.1% CAGR

20x P/E: $659.20💵 … ~8.1% CAGR

As you can see, $META appears to have double-digit CAGR potential if we assume >22x earnings, a multiple below its 5-year average (25.26x) and a multiple that’s justified given its growth rate, balance sheet, visionary CEO & investments in AI & LLMs

As I’ve mentioned before: “… the increased investment in future growth and necessary Al development, which has the potential to lead to better growth prospects, should be viewed with a bullish tone rather than a bearish one” — (which can lead to a sustainable re-rating over the next few years)

Today at $540💵 $META appears to be slightly undervalued, those buying today have a small margin of safety and will not need to rely on margin expansion

I consider $META a great buy ~$500💵, offering ~11% CAGR assuming a conservative 20x 2027 EPS est
