***NOW TO VALUATION ๐ง
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~13% MORE in EPS & ~1% LESS in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Grahamโs 2G rule of thumb, $UNH has to grow earnings at a 8.72% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation
Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (8.72%) required growth rate:
2024E: $27.71 (10.3% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $30.97 (11.8% YoY)
2026E: $34.97 (12.9% YoY)
$UNH has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโs assume $UNH ends 2026 with $34.97 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
19x P/E: $664.43๐ต โฆ ~14.5% CAGR
18x P/E: $629.46๐ต โฆ ~12.1% CAGR
17x P/E: $594.49๐ต โฆ ~9.7% CAGR
As you can see, $UNH appears to have attractive return potential even if we assume 18x earnings (a multiple below both its 5-year & 10-year mean)
Thatโs a solid rate of return for an excellent capital allocator & wide-moat recession-proof business like $UNH
Today at $489๐ต $UNH appears to be a good consideration for investment
However, keep in mind how volatile $UNH (and all health insurers) can get amid regulatory & political risks
Those considering $UNH would be wise to piece into the position, leaving room for additional purchases if $UNH continues to trade down to an even more attractive valuation
E.g. 1/3 of the purchase at $489๐ต, another 1/3 at $440๐ต, & 1/3 at $390๐ต

Using Benjamin Grahamโs 2G rule of thumb, $GOOG has to grow earnings at an 11.40% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation
Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (11.40%) required growth rate:
2024E: $7.54 (30.0% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $8.57 (13.6% YoY)
2026E: $9.82 (14.6% YoY)
$GOOG has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโs assume $GOOG ends 2026 with $9.82 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
24x P/E: $235.68๐ต โฆ ~12.6% CAGR
23x P/E: $225.86๐ต โฆ ~10.7% CAGR
22x P/E: $216.04๐ต โฆ ~8.8% CAGR
As you can see, $GOOG appears to have attractive return potential if we assume 23x - 24x earnings (a multiple near its 5-year & 10-year mean)
At 24x earnings, $GOOG CAGR potential is excellent & itโs not unreasonable for the business to trade for 24x (given current growth rate estimates, its moat, balance sheet, & exemplary capital allocation)
Today at $176.00๐ต $GOOG appears to be an attractive consideration for investment
Those investing today can do well & expect decent returns, albeit without much of a margin of safety
$GOOG presents excellent value & a wide margin of safety closer to $150๐ต or ~15% below todayโs price
At $150๐ต, investors can reasonably expect ~13.8% CAGR even assuming 21x earnings

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐ง
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~3% MORE in EPS & ~9% LESS in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Grahamโs 2G rule of thumb, $GOOG has to grow earnings at an 11.40% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation
Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (11.40%) required growth rate:
2024E: $7.54 (30.0% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $8.57 (13.6% YoY)
2026E: $9.82 (14.6% YoY)
$GOOG has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโs assume $GOOG ends 2026 with $9.82 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
24x P/E: $235.68๐ต โฆ ~12.6% CAGR
23x P/E: $225.86๐ต โฆ ~10.7% CAGR
22x P/E: $216.04๐ต โฆ ~8.8% CAGR
As you can see, $GOOG appears to have attractive return potential if we assume 23x - 24x earnings (a multiple near its 5-year & 10-year mean)
At 24x earnings, $GOOG CAGR potential is excellent & itโs not unreasonable for the business to trade for 24x (given current growth rate estimates, its moat, balance sheet, & exemplary capital allocation)
Today at $176.00๐ต $GOOG appears to be an attractive consideration for investment
Those investing today can do well & expect decent returns, albeit without much of a margin of safety
$GOOG presents excellent value & a wide margin of safety closer to $150๐ต or ~15% below todayโs price
At $150๐ต, investors can reasonably expect ~13.8% CAGR even assuming 21x earnings
