RT @DimitryNakhla: A quality valuation analysis on $MSFT 🧘🏽‍♂️

•NTM P/E Ratio: 28.38x
•5-Year Mean: 30.91x

•NTM FCF Yield: 2.58%
•5-Year Mean: 2.92%

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

Going forward, investors can expect to receive ~9% MORE in earnings per share & ~12% LESS in FCF per share🧠***

Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at why $MSFT is a quality business

BALANCE SHEET✅
•Cash & Equivalents: $71.56B
•Long-Term Debt: $39.72B

$MSFT has an excellent balance sheet, an AAA S&P Credit Rating & 46x FFO Interest Coverage Ratio

•2024: 29.7%
•LTM: 28.8%

RETURN ON EQUITY✅
•2020: 40.1%
•2021: 47.1%
•2022: 47.2%

•2024: 37.1%
•LTM: 34.3%

$MSFT has great return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business

•LTM Operating Margins: 45.0%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 35.4%

PAID DIVIDENDS✅

•2024: $3.00
•CAGR: 10.35%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~9% MORE in EPS & ~12% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $MSFT has to grow earnings at a 14.19% 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 less than the (14.19%) required growth rate:

2025E: $13.16 (11.5% YoY) *FY Jun
2026E: $14.95 (13.6% YoY)
2027E: $17.51 (17.1% YoY)

$MSFT has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but let’s assume $MSFT ends 2027 with $17.51 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

32x P/E: $560.32💵 … ~18.5% CAGR

30x P/E: $525.30💵 … ~15.1% CAGR

29x P/E: $507.79💵 … ~13.3% CAGR

28x P/E: $490.28💵 … ~11.5% CAGR

27x P/E: $472.77💵 … ~9.7% CAGR

As you can see, we’d have to assume a 28x multiple for $MSFT to have attractive return potential

At 27x earnings $MSFT has ok CAGR potential

$MSFT is one of the highest quality companies in the world & is firing on all cylinders

Although I wouldn’t want to rely on a >30x multiple, I feel comfortable accumulating $MSFT shares at ~$390💵 while relying on 28x - 29x

I consider $MSFT a steal with a large margin of safety at $350💵, where I can reasonably expect 11.7% CAGR while assuming a conservative 25x
