Wealthfront CEO Andy Rachleff on why advertising spend makes it harder to find product/market fit
Andy believes paid user acquisition can be a distraction for startups:
“The way that you know you have product/market fit is if you have exponential organic growth. That’s not an easy thing to do, and advertising can make you think you’re doing well because you’re buying customers when in fact you’re not. The only way you drive exponential organic growth is through word of mouth.”
He recalls a Japanese saying in manufacturing: “You can’t see the rocks until you drain the water.”
“By getting rid of the advertising, we could actually see if we were driving exponential organic growth… The great companies were all built through word of mouth and through great products.”
Instead of marketing, Andy has chosen to invest most in building a product that delights customers because, as he puts it, “delight is the greatest form of virality.”

A sober valuation analysis on $MTCH 🧘🏽♂️
•NTM P/E Ratio: 10.87x
•2-Year Mean: 12.93x
•NTM FCF Yield: 11.59%
•2-Year Mean: 9.42%
As you can see, $MTCH appears to be trading below fair value
Going forward, investors can receive ~19% MORE in earnings per share & ~23% MORE in FCF per share 🧠***
Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at $MTCH quality characteristics
BALANCE SHEET🆗
•Cash & Short-Term Inv: $843.60M
•Long-Term Debt: $3.84B
$MTCH has a decent balance sheet & 6x FFO Interest Coverage Ratio
RETURN ON CAPITAL✅
•2020: 29.4%
•2021: 21.3%
•2022: 22.3%
•2023: 23.1%
•LTM: 23.3%
REVENUES✅
•2018: $1.73B
•2023: $3.36B
•CAGR: 14.19%
FREE CASH FLOW❌
•2018: $956.73M
•2023: $829.38M
•FCF jumped from $341.18M in 2017 to $956.73M — also important to note that FCF grew at a 9.69% CAGR from 2013-2023
NORMALIZED EPS✅
•2020: $2.47
•2023: $3.02
•CAGR: 4.10%
SHARE BUYBACKS❌
•2018 Shares Outstanding: 197.11M
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 287.40M
By increasing its shares outstanding 45%, $MTCH decreased its EPS by 32% (assuming 0 growth)
MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 72.3%
•LTM Operating Margins: 25.7%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 18.7%
***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~19% MORE in EPS & ~23% MORE in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $MTCH has to grow earnings at a 5.44% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation
Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than (5.44%) required growth rate:
2024E: $3.09 (2.4% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $3.56 (15.0% YoY)
2026E: $4.32 (21.5% YoY)
$MTCH has a poor track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but let’s just assume $MTCH ends 2026 with $4.32 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
13x P/E: $56.16💵 … ~21.9% CAGR
12x P/E: $51.84💵 … ~17.5% CAGR
11x P/E: $47.52💵 … ~12.9% CAGR
As you can see, $MTCH appears to have attractive return potential if we assume >11x multiple, a valuation that may can be justified by its growth rate assuming the company meets estimates
Yet, it’s important to note the inconsistent history in FCF, heavy share dilution, unattractive balance sheet, & questionable long-term moat & competitive advantage
For the above reasons, while $MTCH does appear like an attractive opportunity today at $36.55💵, I would not invest in $MTCH as it lacks the quality I demand for my investable dollars
