Well this explains why Copper has been rising aggressively

US and UK have just banned Russia from their exchanges

Which lowers supply greatly

Amazing how some important people were aware of this before it was dropped by the news

I’m going to be very honest:

A LOT of people should not be investing (and certainly not trading) in anything other than a Market Index ETF

Like the $SPY and just routinely add to it every month for 30 years.

The very basics of investing are not understood by the vast majority of people.

Let’s be clear here:

RT @DimitryNakhla: A sober valuation analysis on $MSCI 🧘🏽‍♂️

•NTM P/E Ratio: 37.26x
•10-Year Mean: 34.88x

•NTM FCF Yield: 2.94%
•10-Year Mean: 3.39%

As you can see, $MSCI appears to be trading above fair value

Going forward, investors can receive ~7% LESS in earnings per share & ~13% LESS in FCF per share 🧠***

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

BALANCE SHEET🆗
•Cash & Short-Term Inv: $457.82M
•Long-Term Debt: $4.49B

$MSCI has an ok balance sheet, a BBB- S&P Credit Rating, & 6.62x FFO Interest Coverate

RETURN ON CAPITAL✅
•2019: 23.4%
•2020: 28.6%
•2021: 26.5%
•2022: 33.0%
•2023: 35.2%

RETURN ON EQUITY🆗
•2019: (463.5%)
•2020: (231.5%)
•2021: (239.3%)
•2022: (148.6%)
•2023: (131.4%)

*ROE negative due to heavy use of debt

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

REVENUES✅
•2013: $0.91B
•2023: $2.53B
•CAGR: 10.76%

FREE CASH FLOW✅
•2013: $280.93M
•2023: $1.21B
•CAGR: 15.75%

NORMALIZED EPS✅
•2013: $2.16
•2023: $13.52
•CAGR: 20.13%

SHARE BUYBACKS✅
•2013 Shares Outstanding: 121.07M
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 79.84M

By reducing its shares outstanding 34%, $MSCI increased its EPS by 51% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 82.3%
•LTM Operating Margins: 54.8%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 45.4%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~7% LESS in EPS & ~13% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $MSCI has to grow earnings at an 18.63% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be less than the (18.63%) required growth rate:

2024E: $14.89 (10.1% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $17.05 (14.5% YoY)
2026E: $19.45 (14.1% YoY)

$MSCI has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but let’s assume $MSCI ends 2026 with $19.45 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

34x P/E: $661.30💵 … ~8.9% CAGR

32x P/E: $622.40💵 … ~6.5% CAGR

30x P/E: $583.50💵 … ~4.0% CAGR

28x P/E: $544.60💵 … ~1.5% CAGR

As you can see, $MSCI appears to have attractive return potential if we assume >34x earnings, leaving us with no margin of safety

Given the multiple expansion over the last 10 years, deteriorating balance sheet, & a reduction in the growth rate, I’d demand greater value from $MSCI

I’d likely get more interested in $MSCI closer to $450💵 or at ~31x earnings (~16.5% below todays price)

I think $AMD's stock will climb to over $600 per share, driven by a product roadmap that is widely misunderstood.

Right now, the tech world is all about AI, mostly selling GPUs. But AMD has a special advantage because all parts of its business help spread its main AI tech.

This smart way of using its business to push AI will likely boost AMD's financial results in the coming years.

AI isn't just in GPUs anymore; it's expected to spread to different tech like smartphones, PCs, cars, and home appliances over the next decade.

AMD knows a lot about chiplet technology, which means it can add AI features across all its products.

In the long run, this strategy could work out better than just trying to beat NVDA in the GPU market, where AMD is already a strong competitor.

By developing GPUs with chiplets that perform well and improving its ROCm software, AMD might take some of $NVDA's market share.

Using this technology across its various business areas should also help AMD succeed more broadly.

The benefits of taking market share from $NVDA are big, including the chance for $AMD to become a top supplier of AI-powered PCs.

Also, $AMD can chase these opportunities without much extra cost because its chiplet design works well across different products.

With its strong presence in the PC market already, $AMD is ready to use its AI tech in personal computing, even if it doesn't surpass $NVDA in GPU sales.

This move into AI by $AMD is a clever, asymmetric strategy.

Looking ahead, personalized computing is becoming a big trend. Companies will want custom tech solutions, and $AMD is well-prepared to meet these needs.

While rivals like $INTC and $NVDA are dabbling with chiplets to compete in AI and offer personalized tech, AMD has a head start, giving it an edge.
