RT @DimitryNakhla: Two months ago I stated:

โ€œIโ€™d be more interested in $TMO closer to $500๐Ÿ’ต (8% below todayโ€™s price) where I can reasonably expect ~11% to ~12% CAGR while assuming a 23x - 24x end multiple, ensuring a margin of safetyโ€

$TMO traded at my target price for less than 24 hours ๐Ÿ“ˆ https://t.co/r2awaMkY7L

A sober valuation analysis on $TMO ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

โ€ขNTM FCF Yield: 4.09%
โ€ข5-Year Mean: 3.59%

As you can see, $TMO appears to be trading near fair value

Going forward, investors can receive ~5% MORE in earnings per share & ~14% MORE in FCF per share ๐Ÿง ***

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

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~5% MORE in EPS & ~14% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $TMO has to grow earnings at an 11.84% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be less than the (11.84%) required growth rate:

2024E: $21.70 (0.7% YoY) *FY Dec

2025E: $23.58 (8.7% YoY)
2026E: $26.37 (11.8% YoY)

$TMO has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so letโ€™s assume $TMO ends 2026 with $26.37 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

27x P/E: $711.99๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~14.0% CAGR

26x P/E: $685.62๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.0% CAGR

25x P/E: $659.25๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~10.0% CAGR

24x P/E: $632.88๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~7.9% CAGR

As you can see, $TMO appears to have attractive return potential IF we assume >26x earnings (a multiple above its 5-year mean & multiple that may be slightly demanding given its growth rate

However, $TMO is an excellent business with a wide moat & will benefit from future ongoing sector demand

Yet, those buying $TMO today at $541๐Ÿ’ต are buying it for a fair price, with little margin of safety

Iโ€™d be more interested in $TMO closer to $500๐Ÿ’ต (8% below todayโ€™s price) where I can reasonably expect ~11% to ~12% CAGR while assuming a 23x - 24x end multiple, ensuring a comfortable margin of safety
