***NOW TO VALUATION ๐ง
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~5% MORE in EPS & ~14% MORE in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Grahamโs 2G rule of thumb, $TMO has to grow earnings at an 11.84% 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 (11.84%) required growth rate:
2024E: $21.70 (0.7% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $23.58 (8.7% YoY)
2026E: $26.37 (11.8% YoY)
$TMO has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโs assume $TMO ends 2026 with $26.37 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
27x P/E: $711.99๐ต โฆ ~14.0% CAGR
26x P/E: $685.62๐ต โฆ ~12.0% CAGR
25x P/E: $659.25๐ต โฆ ~10.0% CAGR
24x P/E: $632.88๐ต โฆ ~7.9% CAGR
As you can see, $TMO appears to have attractive return potential IF we assume >26x earnings (a multiple above its 5-year mean & multiple that may be slightly demanding given its growth rate
However, $TMO is an excellent business with a wide moat & will benefit from future ongoing sector demand
Yet, those buying $TMO today at $541๐ต are buying it for a fair price, with little margin of safety
Iโd be more interested in $TMO closer to $500๐ต (8% below todayโs price) where I can reasonably expect ~11% to ~12% CAGR while assuming a 23x - 24x end multiple, ensuring a comfortable margin of safety
