***NOW TO VALUATION ๐ง
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~3% LESS in EPS & ~8% LESS in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Grahamโs 2G rule of thumb, $ANET has to grow earnings at a 16.37% 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 (16.37%) required growth rate:
2025E: $2.49 (9.9% YoY) *FY Dec
2026E: $2.96 (18.7% YoY)
2027E: $3.61 (22.0% YoY)
$ANET has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but letโs assume $ANET ends 2027 with $3.61 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
32x P/E: $115.52๐ต โฆ ~14.2% CAGR
30x P/E: $108.30๐ต โฆ ~11.6% CAGR
29x P/E: $101.08๐ต โฆ ~8.8% CAGR
28x P/E: $93.86๐ต โฆ ~6.0% CAGR
As you can see, weโd have to assume >30x multiple for $ANET to have attractive return potential
At 29x earnings $ANET has decent CAGR potential
However, we must be aware of the risk that if data center demand cools, we could see downward revisions in already aggressive growth estimates that could lead to a 10% - 15% multiple contraction
While $ANET is an excellent business, it may not have the same level of predictability as other quality compounders, so we should require a greater margin of safety
If I want to own $ANET, Iโd likely consider buying in tranches, 1/3 at $80, 1/3 at $70 & 1/3 at $60

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐ง
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~3% LESS in EPS & ~8% LESS in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Grahamโs 2G rule of thumb, $ANET has to grow earnings at a 16.37% 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 (16.37%) required growth rate:
2025E: $2.49 (9.9% YoY) *FY Dec
2026E: $2.96 (18.7% YoY)
2027E: $3.61 (22.0% YoY)
$ANET has a great track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but letโs assume $ANET ends 2027 with $3.61 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
32x P/E: $115.52๐ต โฆ ~14.2% CAGR
30x P/E: $108.30๐ต โฆ ~11.6% CAGR
29x P/E: $101.08๐ต โฆ ~8.8% CAGR
28x P/E: $93.86๐ต โฆ ~6.0% CAGR
As you can see, weโd have to assume >30x multiple for $ANET to have attractive return potential
At 29x earnings $ANET has decent CAGR potential
However, we must be aware of the risk that if data center demand cools, we could see downward revisions in already aggressive growth estimates that could lead to a 10% - 15% multiple contraction
While $ANET is an excellent business, it may not have the same level of predictability as other quality compounders, so we should require a greater margin of safety
If I want to own $ANET, Iโd likely consider buying in tranches, 1/3 at $80, 1/3 at $70 & 1/3 at $60
