- Software
- Minimum 20% EPS Growth
- Market cap above 50bn

Not surprised to see:
1. Servicenow $NOW
2. Crowdstrike $CRWD
3. Palantir $PLTR

A sober valuation analysis on $CELH 🧘🏽‍♂️

•NTM P/E Ratio: 30.45x
•1-Year Mean: 62.14x

•NTM FCF Yield: 2.89%
•1-Year Mean: 1.26%

As you can see, $CELH appears to be trading below fair value

Going forward, investors can expect to receive ~103% MORE in earnings per share & ~129% MORE in FCF per share🧠***

***Keep in mind that this is the case mainly because $CELH traded for a substantial premium for most of the last year (trading between 40x - 98x earnings until last month where its multiple fell below 40x)

Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at why $CELH is an interesting business

BALANCE SHEET✅
•Cash & Equivalents: $903.21M
•Long-Term Debt: $0

$CELH has an excellent balance sheet & 152x FFO Interest Coverage Ratio

RETURN ON CAPITAL🆗➡️✅
•2020: 7.5%
•2021: (1.8%)
•2022: (17.6%)
•2023: 24.4%
•LTM: 26.9%

RETURN ON EQUITY🆗➡️✅
•2020: 10.2%
•2021: 2.5%
•2022: (34.6%)
•2023: 23.2%
•LTM: 26.6%

$CELH return metrics are ok, although more recently trending in the right direction

REVENUES✅
•2018: $52.60M
•2023: $1.31B
•CAGR: 90.45

FREE CASH FLOW✅
•2018: ($11.76M)
•2023: 123.79M

NORMALIZED EPS✅
•2018: ($0.07)
•2023: $0.79

SHARE BUYBACKS❌
•2018 Shares Outstanding: 150.15M
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 237.46M

By increasing its shares outstanding ~58%, $CELH diluted its EPS by ~37% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 50.4%
•LTM Operating Margins: 22.4%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 16.2%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~103% MORE in EPS & ~129% MORE FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $CELH has to grow earnings at a 15.23% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be slightly more than the (12.09%) required growth rate:

2024E: $1.01 (14.0% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $1.23 (22.8% YoY)
2026E: $1.57 (10.3% YoY)

***2027E: $1.77 (14.0% YoY)

$CELH has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $CELH ends 2026 with $1.57 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

32 P/E: $50.24💵 … ~20.6% CAGR

30x P/E: $47.10💵 … ~17.3% CAGR

28x P/E: $43.69💵 … ~13.6% CAGR

26x P/E: $40.82💵 … ~10.3% CAGR

As you can see, we’d have to assume >26x earnings for $CELH to have double digit CAGR potential (a multiple that appears justified by its growth rate)***

***However, this is where it’s wise to demonstrate some caution — I’d rather assume a more conservative multiple & be pleasantly surprised with “multiple expansion” given that growth is slowing & any sign of a sustained downward revision in growth can re-rate $CELH multiple rather quickly

Today at $32.40💵 $CELH appears to be decent consideration for investment (although with some risks & a high degree of uncertainty)

Yet, I'm unlikely to invest in $CELH due to its lack of a strong competitive moat and its high level of uncertainty
