On April 10, 2024, I posted my analysis on $MSCI, arguing it was overvalued at $542๐ต and an attractive buy at $450๐ต
Since then, the stock has fallen over -17%, dipping just below my target price of $450๐ต
Shortly after hitting my $450๐ต price target, $MSCI shares rebounded, surging over 23% ๐
As I stated in my analysis:
โAs 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, Iโd demand greater value from $MSCI
Iโd likely get more interested in $MSCI closer to $450๐ต or at ~31x earnings (~16.5% below todays price)โ

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~4% MORE in EPS & ~10% LESS in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Grahamโs 2G rule of thumb, $GOOG has to grow earnings at an 11.31% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation
Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (11.31%) required growth rate:
2024E: $7.56 (30.4% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $8.64 (14.3% YoY)
2026E: $9.96 (15.2% YoY)
$GOOG has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโs assume $GOOG ends 2026 with $9.96 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
24x P/E: $239.04๐ต โฆ ~13.4% CAGR
23x P/E: $229.08๐ต โฆ ~11.5% CAGR
22x P/E: $219.12๐ต โฆ ~9.6% 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 & itโs not unreasonable for the business to trade for 24x (given current growth rate estimates, its moat, balance sheet, & exemplary capital allocation)
Today at $176.00๐ต (current pre-market price) $GOOG appears to be an attractive consideration for investment
$GOOG presents excellent value & a wide margin of safety closer to $150๐ต or ~15% below todayโs price
At $150๐ต, investors can reasonably expect ~14.6% CAGR even assuming 21x earnings
