Apple $AAPL is working on two big chip projects: one codenamed “Baltra” for AI servers, expected by 2027, and another aimed at powering smart glasses by 2026 or 2027. The glasses chip could set up Apple to go head-to-head with Meta’s Ray-Bans as the wearables race heats up.

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~23% MORE in EPS & ~19% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $TMO has to grow earnings at an 8.92% 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 (8.92%) required growth rate:

2025E: $22.47 (2.8% YoY) *FY Dec
2026E: $24.84 (10.6% YoY)
2027E: $27.73 (11.6% YoY)

$TMO has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, let’s assume $TMO ends 2027 with $27.73 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

24x P/E: $665.52💵 … ~20.0% CAGR

23x P/E: $637.79💵 … ~18.1% CAGR

22x P/E: $610.06💵 … ~16.2% CAGR

21x P/E: $582.33💵 … ~14.1% CAGR

20x P/E: $554.60💵 … ~12.1% CAGR

As you can see, $TMO appears to have attractive return potential IF we assume >20x earnings and strong return potential at 22x

Despite $TMO’s earnings dip from 2020-2023 due to pandemic-driven booms followed by biopharma funding & tariff fears, its proven track record of steady growth, among other things, signals a return to normalcy once these overhangs clear

$TMO is an excellent business with a wide moat & will benefit from future ongoing sector demand (AI tailwinds in scientific research), especially their next-gen sequencing machines & chromatography machines

Today at $414💵, $TMO is a strong consideration for investment with a large margin of safety
