A sober valuation analysis on $UNH ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

โ€ข5-Year Mean: 19.73x

โ€ขNTM FCF Yield: 5.79%
โ€ข5-Year Mean: 5.82%

As you can see, $UNH appears to be trading slightly below fair value

Going forward, investors can receive ~13% MORE in earnings per share & ~1% LESS in FCF per share ๐Ÿง ***

Before we get into valuation, letโ€™s take a look at why $UNH is a great business

BALANCE SHEETโœ…
โ€ขCash & Total Inv: $78.61B
โ€ขLong-Term Debt: $63.85B

$UNH has a strong balance sheet, an A+ S&P Credit Rating & 4.16x FFO Interest Coverage

โ€ข2019: 18.6%
โ€ข2020: 19.1%

โ€ข2020: 23.8%
โ€ข2021: 24.1%
โ€ข2022: 25.4%
โ€ข2023: 25.0%

$UNH has strong return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business

REVENUESโœ…
โ€ข2013: $122.49B
โ€ข2023: $371.62B
โ€ขCAGR: 11.73%

FREE CASH FLOWโœ…
โ€ข2013: $5.68B
โ€ข2023: $25.68B
โ€ขCAGR: 16.28%

NORMALIZED EPSโœ…
โ€ข2013: $5.50
โ€ข2023: $25.12
โ€ขCAGR: 16.40%

PAID DIVIDENDSโœ…
โ€ข2013: $1.05
โ€ข2023: $7.29
โ€ขCAGR: 21.38%

SHARE BUYBACKSโœ…
โ€ข2013 Shares Outstanding: 1.02B
โ€ขLTM Shares Outstanding: 0.93B

By reducing its shares outstanding ~8.8%, $UNH increased its EPS by ~9.6% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINSโœ…
โ€ขLTM Gross Margins: 14.6%
โ€ขLTM Operating Margins: 8.5%
โ€ขLTM Net Income Margins: 4.0%

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~13% MORE in EPS & ~1% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 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 letโ€™s assume $UNH ends 2026 with $34.97 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

19x P/E: $664.43๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~14.5% CAGR

18x P/E: $629.46๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.1% CAGR

17x P/E: $594.49๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~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)

Thatโ€™s a solid rate of return for an excellent capital allocator & wide-moat recession-proof business like $UNH

Today at $489๐Ÿ’ต $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 $489๐Ÿ’ต, another 1/3 at $440๐Ÿ’ต, & 1/3 at $390๐Ÿ’ต

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~3% MORE in EPS & ~9% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 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 letโ€™s assume $GOOG ends 2026 with $9.82 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

24x P/E: $235.68๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.6% CAGR

23x P/E: $225.86๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~10.7% CAGR

22x P/E: $216.04๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~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 & itโ€™s not unreasonable for the business to trade for 24x (given current growth rate estimates, its moat, balance sheet, & exemplary capital allocation)

Today at $176.00๐Ÿ’ต $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 $150๐Ÿ’ต or ~15% below todayโ€™s price

At $150๐Ÿ’ต, investors can reasonably expect ~13.8% CAGR even assuming 21x earnings
