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

โ€ข10-Year Mean: 33.68x

โ€ขNTM FCF Yield: 3.16%
โ€ข10-Year Mean: 3.72%

As you can see, $INTU appears to be trading somewhere near fair value & over fair value

Going forward, investors can receive ~5% MORE in earnings per share & ~17 LESS in FCF per share ๐Ÿง ***

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

โ€ขCash & Short-Term Inv: $4.07B

โ€ขCAGR: 14.40%

โ€ขCAGR: 16.82%

SHARE BUYBACKS๐Ÿ†—
โ€ข2014 Shares Outstanding: 291.00M
โ€ขLTM Shares Outstanding: 280.00M

By reducing its shares outstanding ~3.7%, $INTU increased its EPS by ~3.8% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINSโœ…
โ€ขLTM Gross Margins: 79.6%
โ€ขLTM Operating Margins: 23.7%
โ€ขLTM Net Income Margins: 18.2%

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~5% MORE in EPS & ~17% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $INTU has to grow earnings at a 16.07% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be less than the (16.07%) required growth rate:

2025E: $19.29 (13.9% YoY) *FY Jul
2026E: $22.13 (14.7% YoY)

$INTU has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโ€™s assume $INTU ends 2026 with $22.13 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples:

32x P/E: $708.16๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~7.8% CAGR

31x P/E: $686.03๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~6.1% CAGR

30x P/E: $663.90๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~4.3% CAGR

29x P/E: $641.77๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~2.5% CAGR

As you can see, even at 32x $INTU return potential is mediocre

At 34x, $INTU return potential is closer to 11.30%, an attractive rate of return but not an assumption that I am willing to rely on as weโ€™re not left with much of a margin of safety given todays $620๐Ÿ’ต share price

Iโ€™d consider $INTU a strong purchase with a substantial margin of safety closer to $535๐Ÿ’ต, or ~28x NTM earnings (~13% below todays price)

Given todayโ€™s estimates, at $535๐Ÿ’ต I can reasonably expect ~10.6% CAGR while assuming a 29x multiple
