•NTM FCF Yield: 3.44%
•10-Year Mean: 3.70%

Going forward, investors can receive ~5% MORE in earnings per share & ~7# LESS in FCF per share 🧠***

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

•Cash & Short-Term Inv: $4.07B

REVENUES✅

•CAGR: 16.82%

SHARE BUYBACKS🆗
•2014 Shares Outstanding: 291.00M
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 284.00M

By reducing its shares outstanding ~2.4%, $INTU increased its EPS by ~2.5% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 79.6%
•LTM Operating Margins: 23.7%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 18.2%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~5% MORE in EPS & ~7% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $INTU has to grow earnings at a 15.95% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2027 EPS growth over the next few years to be less than the (15.95%) required growth rate:

2025E: $19.34 (14.1% YoY) *FY Jul
2026E: $22.24 (15.0% YoY)
2027E: $25.41 (14.3% YoY)

$INTU has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but let’s assume $INTU ends 2027 with $25.41 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples:

32x P/E: $708.16💵 … ~10.9% CAGR

31x P/E: $686.03💵 … ~9.6% CAGR

30x P/E: $663.90💵 … ~8.4% CAGR

29x P/E: $641.77💵 … ~7.1% CAGR

While it’s certainly reasonable for $INTU to trade for 32x, I wouldn’t want to rely on that assumption as it doesn’t leave us with a substantial margin of safety (given today’s $619💵 share price)

I’d consider $INTU a strong purchase with a substantial margin of safety closer to $570💵, or ~29.40 NTM earnings (~8% below todays price)

Given today’s estimates, at $570💵 I can reasonably expect ~10.3% CAGR while assuming a 29x end multiple

This is quite interesting 👉🏼 $UBER looked at acquiring $EXPE especially since the current Uber CEO is the former CEO of Expedia and worked at its parent, $IAC before.

Expedia changed its CEO this year and announced a few turnaround measures.

The stock is super cheap at 12x PE, obviously struggled to grow and is facing weaker demand now...but still looks like an interesting long idea.
