RT @DimitryNakhla: A quality valuation analysis on $FICO 🧘🏽‍♂️

•NTM P/E Ratio: 42.78x
•5-Year Mean: 43.00x

•NTM FCF Yield: 2.45%
•5-Year Mean: 2.41%

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

Going forward, investors can receive about the same in earnings per share & FCF per share 🧠***

•2022: 48.9%
•2023: 52.8%
•2024: 56.9%
•LTM: 63.1%

$FICO has strong returns on capital, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business

By reducing its shares outstanding by 18.3%, $FICO increased its EPS by 22.4% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 81.7%
•LTM Operating Margins: 45.9%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 32.8%

***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠

As stated above, investors can expect to receive about the same in EPS & FCF per share

Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $FICO has to grow earnings at a 21.39% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation

Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2028 EPS growth over the next few years to be just greater than the (21.39%) required growth rate:

2025E: $29.44 (24% YoY) *FY Sep

2026E: $35.86 (22% YoY)
2027E: $44.45 (24% YoY)
2028E: $54.83 (23% YoY)

$FICO has a good track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but let’s assume $FICO ends 2028 with $54.83 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples

42x P/E: $2302💵 … ~17.6% CAGR

40x P/E: $2193💵 … ~15.8% CAGR

38x P/E: 2083💵 … ~13.9% CAGR

36x P/E: $1974💵 … ~12.1% CAGR

34x P/E: $1864💵 … ~10.0% CAGR

As you can see, $FICO appears to have attractive return potential if we assume >36x earnings multiple (allowing for ~15% multiple compression)

$FICO is a high-quality business & a good consideration for investment today at $1378💵

$FICO becomes extremely attractive close to $1150💵 (20% lower from today’s price) where you can reasonably assume mid teens CAGR (13% - 16%) given a 31x - 34x multiple

Given perceived headwinds & regulatory risks, $FICO stock price may be very volatile over the next few months so it would be wise to patiently piece into the position, allowing a win-win scenario whether shares fall or rise shortly after initial purchase
