MARGINSโœ…
โ€ขLTM Gross Margins: 79.6%
โ€ขLTM Operating Margins: 23.1%
โ€ขLTM Net Income Margins: 17.6%

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~16% MORE in EPS & ~2% LESS in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™s 2G rule of thumb, $INTU has to grow earnings at a 14.37% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2027 EPS growth over the next few years to be slightly less than the (14.37%) required growth rate:

2025E: $19.32 (14.1% YoY) *FY Jul
2026E: $22.13 (14.5% YoY)
2027E: $25.09 (13.4% YoY)

$INTU has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but letโ€™s assume $INTU ends 2027 with $25.09 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples:

32x P/E: $802.88๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~16.1% CAGR

31x P/E: $777.79๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~14.6% CAGR

30x P/E: $752.70๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~13.0% CAGR

29x P/E: $727.61๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~11.5% CAGR

28x P/E: $702.52๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~10.0% CAGR

While itโ€™s certainly reasonable for $INTU to trade for 32x, I wouldnโ€™t want to rely on that assumption as it doesnโ€™t leave us with a substantial margin of safety

Yet, given its quality, moat, predictability, & growth rate, I am comfortable relying on 28x - 30x multiple, making $INTU a good purchase today at $560๐Ÿ’ต

I consider $INTU a strong purchase with a substantial margin of safety closer to $525๐Ÿ’ต, or ~27.60x NTM earnings (~7% below todays price)

Given todayโ€™s estimates, at $525๐Ÿ’ต I can reasonably expect ~10% CAGR while assuming an attractive & conservative 26x multiple
