It takes 29 years to develop a new mine in the United States.

But yes, we'll have the metals we need to achieve Net Zero by 2050.

And we'll do it without China's help.

Lol.

The Evolution of Copper Mining Capital Intensity

• 2000s: $4,000-$5,000/t

• 2012: $10,000/t

• Today: Up to $44,000/t

How'd we get here?

• Lower grades
• Longer permitting processes
• More remote jurisdictions
• Higher labor costs
• Fewer skilled workers

I played NCAA 2025 for the first time tonight.

The game is worth the hype.

Probably the most fun I’ve had playing a sports video game in 10+ years.

RT @DimitryNakhla: This is what happens when you pay a ludicrous 50x earnings for a business that does not meet growth estimates 📉

$NKE down nearly -60% from its highs ‼️

Multiples, relative to growth estimates, matter 🎯

A sober valuation analysis on $ELV 🧘🏽‍♂️

•NTM P/E Ratio: 12.61x
•5-Year Mean: 14.00x

•NTM FCF Yield: 6.28%
•5-Year Mean: 7.00%

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

Going forward, investors can expect to receive ~11% MORE in earnings per share & ~10% LESS in FCF per share🧠***

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

BALANCE SHEET
•Cash & Equivalents: $6.50B
•Total Investments: $37.15B
•Long-Term Debt: $24.56B

$ELV has a strong balance sheet, an A S&P Credit Rating & 7.83x FFO Interest Coverage Ratio

RETURN ON CAPITAL
•2019: 12.3%
•2020: 14.7%
•2021: 14.3%
•2022: 13.6%
•2023: 14.7%
•LTM: 14.6%

RETURN ON EQUITY
•2019: 16.0%
•2020: 14.1%
•2021: 17.7%
•2022: 16.3%
•2023: 15.8%
•LTM: 16.6%

$ELV has solid return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business

REVENUES
•2013: $71.02B
•2023: $171.34B
•CAGR: 9.20%

FREE CASH FLOW
•2013: $2.41B
•2023: $6.77B
•CAGR: 10.88%

NORMALIZED EPS
•2013: $8.52
•2023: $33.14
•CAGR: 14.54%

SHARE BUYBACKS
•2013 Shares Outstanding: 303.80M
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 234.95M

By reducing its shares outstanding ~22.6%, $ELV increases its EPS by ~29.1% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINS🆗
•LTM Gross Margins: 9.4%
•LTM Operating Margins: 6.1%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 3.9%

PAID DIVIDENDS
•2013: $1.50
•2023: $5.92
•CAGR: 14.71%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~11% MORE in EPS & ~10% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $ELV has to grow earnings at a 6.31% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be greater than the (6.31%) required growth rate:

2024E: $37.27 (12.4% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $41.71 (11.9% YoY)
2026E: $47.00 (12.7% YoY)

$ELV has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $ELV ends 2026 with $47.00 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

15x P/E: $705.00💵 … ~16.0% CAGR

14x P/E: $658.00💵 … ~12.9% CAGR

13.5x P/E: $611.00💵 … ~11.3% CAGR

13x P/E: $611.00💵 … ~9.7% CAGR

As you can see, $ELV has attractive CAGR potential if we assume a >13.5x multiple (below its 14.00x 5-year mean & below its 14.21x 10-year mean)

This assumption is MORE than reasonable for a business that’s growing earnings at a >10% rate & has a strong history of linear earnings growth ( $ELV has increased EPS annually since 2008 🎯)

I also like the negative price correlation $ELV can have, relative to tech, in the short-term … adding a layer of safety in a portfolio

In short, $ELV appears to be a worthwhile consideration at $500💵

Bill Miller is one of the greatest investors of our generation.

He beat the S&P 500 for 15 straight years.

And he returned 119% in 2019.

He's the brain-child of Buffett, Graham, John B. Williams, and Munger.

Here are three of Miller's most important investing lessons ... 🧵 https://t.co/DmYTZbQcJc
