RT @theallinpod: Google has a Gemini Problem, and Chamath has a plan to fix it ๐
On E225, the besties discussed how Google can cut ChatGPT's lead over Gemini without killing its $200B/year search ads business.
@DavidSacks:
"I think the problem that Google has with respect to ChatGPT, is Gemini is not getting the usage, and ChatGPT is just growing like crazy."
"If you look at how these models perform according to the benchmarks, Gemini is actually really good, but they have not caught up on the usage side."
@friedberg:
"Chamath, โyou're the CEO of Google, you've got a $200B run rate search ad business."
"What's the right integration of Gemini such that you don't massively disrupt the search ad business overnight?"
"Or do you not care and you're just gonna do it? I think that's the conundrum (Google) is dealing with."
@chamath:
"โThe more difficult question is, what does the integration look like?"
"They're already inserting Gemini in all kinds of uncomfortable ways."
"So for example, if you use Gmail, or if you use Google Workspace, what happens today is all these random Gemini pop-ups come up all over the place."
"That is an implementation that happened at way too junior a level by people that have no product taste."
"And if you use the products every day, it would be hard for you to disagree with me."
@DavidSacks:
"โThe Google homepage, would you replace that with an AI chatbot?"
@chamath:
"โNo. Here's what I would do: I would first go to the critical other points that are around, that today do not cannibalize the blue links."
"If you look at the traffic patterns, almost as a Sankey diagram, the real thing you should be looking at here is where are the entry points into Google that then result in a clickable link."
"And what it would show you is that there are certain places that are highly de-optimized today for revenue generating events."
"They happen as a byproduct, but they don't happen as the use case."
"So in that example, you would put Gmail as a critical place, the Google one subscription, and there's like five or six other places."
"That's where I would put Gemini as the front door and start to habituate 300 to 500 million people a week in using that."
"I think then you can figure out over time how much money you can make from all of that, or how it directs derivative revenue, and figure out what to do with Google dot com last."
"But my point is, the experience in Gmail should be done today."
"The experience in YouTube should be done today."
"The experience in Google one should be done today."

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐ง
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~7% MORE in EPS
Using Benjamin Grahamโs 2G rule of thumb, $MELI has to grow earnings at a 22.33% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation
Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2027 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (22.33%) required growth rate:
2025E: $46.91 (24.5% YoY)
2026E: $64.98 (38.5% YoY)
2027E: $84.98 (30.8% YoY)
$MELI has an ok track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but letโs assume $MELI ends 2027 with $84.98 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
40x P/E: $3400๐ต โฆ ~17.6% CAGR
38x P/E: $3230๐ต โฆ ~15.4% CAGR
36x P/E: $3060๐ต โฆ ~13.2% CAGR
34x P/E: $2890๐ต โฆ ~10.9% CAGR
As you can see, $MELI appears to have attractive return potential IF we assume >36x earnings (a multiple justified by its growth rate & moat)
$MELI boasts an expansive growth trajectory, fueled by powerful network effects that should drive sustained momentum
Key factors contributing to its promising outlook include ๐
1. Margin expansion
2. Unparalleled access to Latin America's burgeoning economy
3. Network effects that produce self-reinforcing dynamics ensuring long-term competitiveness, among other things
Those buying $MELI today at $2165๐ต are buying it for a fair price, with little margin of safety โ however, these growth rates have to be revised down substantially for $MELI to miss the mark, even if the company grows earnings at 25% CAGR over the next 5 years, shareholders will likely end up with a decent return
I consider $MELI a strong buy closer to $1945๐ต (~10% below todayโs price) where I can reasonably expect ~12% CAGR while assuming a conservative 32x end multiple, ensuring some margin of safety
