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

โ€ขCAGR: 19.29%

MARGINSโœ…
โ€ขLTM Gross Margins: 81.5%
โ€ขLTM Operating Margins: 39.5%
โ€ขLTM Net Income Margins: 32.1%

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~14% MORE in EPS & ~14% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $META has to grow earnings at an 11.60% 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 (11.60%) required growth rate:

2024E: $20.14 (35.4% YoY)
2025E: $23.05 (14.5% YoY)
2026E: $26.32 (14.2% YoY)

$META has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโ€™s assume $META ends 2026 with $26.32 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

24x P/E: $631.68๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.5% CAGR

23x P/E: $605.36๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~10.5% CAGR

22x P/E: $579.04๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~8.5% CAGR

As you can see, $META appears to have double-digit CAGR potential if we assume >23x earnings, a multiple slightly below what itโ€™s trading for today and a multiple below what may be justified given its mid-teens earnings growth rate

I also believe that Mark Zuckerberg will continue to execute exceptionally well

Additionally, the increased investment in future growth and necessary AI development has the potential to drive better growth prospects, which could serve as a bullish catalyst for the next several years

Today at $476๐Ÿ’ต $META appears to be a good consideration for investment

$META appears to be an excellent deal closer to $450๐Ÿ’ต where it has ~11% CAGR potential assuming 2026E and a 22x multiple (an added layer of margin of safety)

"Through the first half of 2024, we estimate the category grew by approx. 40%, driven by illicit flavored disposable products ... now more than 60% of the category"

"Pod-based volumes declined by approx. 15%"

Iโ€™m not going to lie.

I didnโ€™t think Iโ€™d need to remind @AlderLaneEggs about our $CVNA deal.

But it might freaking happen.

Mark promised heโ€™d cook me and @CliffordSosin a full-course dinner while wearing a dress.

AND

He said heโ€™d buy me a Ford Shelby Mustang.

Funny how the Big Banks work their price targets.

Block $SQ has doubled Gross Profit AND turned profitable since 2021.

Yet Morgan Stanleyโ€™s 2024 price target is ~80% lower than 2021.

I know they donโ€™t ring bells at bottoms and all โ€ฆ but.

$SQ - Morgan Stanley

2021 Price target : $245
2024 Price target : $55

2021 Gross Profit : $4.4B
2024 Gross Proft est : $8.8B
