At the time, it may have sounded overly simple. Yet occasionally, I’ll include one or two sentences in my quality valuation analysis that captures something that really matters
$LRCX & memory chip production
Even if it’s simple, it’s important to be focused on the right drivers https://t.co/hidi4BV0gV
A quality valuation analysis on $LRCX 🧘🏽♂️
•NTM P/E Ratio: 16.66x
•10-Year Mean: 20.20x
•NTM FCF Yield: 6.80%
•10-Year Mean: 5.51%
As you can see, $LRCX appears to be trading below fair value
Going forward, investors can receive ~21% MORE in earnings per share & ~23% MORE in FCF per share 🧠***
Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at why $LRCX is a good business

PAID DIVIDENDS✅
•2019: $0.44
•2024: $0.80
•CAGR: 12.70%
SHARE BUYBACKS✅
•2015 Shares Outstanding: 1.77B
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 1.30B
By reducing its shares outstanding ~26%, $LRCX increased its EPS by ~35% (assuming 0 growth)
MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 47.7%
•LTM Operating Margins: 29.7%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 26.5%
***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~21% MORE in EPS & ~23% MORE in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $LRCX has to grow earnings at an 8.33% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation
Today, analysts anticipate 2025 - 2028 EPS growth over the next few years to be more than the (8.33%) required growth rate:
2025E: $3.75 (23.7% YoY) *FY Jun
2026E: $3.88 (3.6% YoY)
2027E: $4.65 (19.8% YoY)
2028E: $5.50 (18.3% YoY)
$LRCX has a decent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, but let’s assume $LRCX ends FY 2028 with $5.50 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples:
20x P/E: $110.00💵 … ~20.2% CAGR
19x P/E: $104.50💵 … ~18.3% CAGR
18x P/E: $99.00💵 … ~16.4% CAGR
17x P/E: $93.50💵 … ~14.3% CAGR
16x P/E: $88.00💵 … ~12.2% CAGR
While it’s certainly reasonable for $LRCX to trade for 18x - 20x, I wouldn’t want to rely on that assumption as it doesn’t leave us with a substantial margin of safety
Yet, $LRCX still appears to have attractive return potential if we assume 16x - 17x, a multiple that’s justified by its excellent capital allocation, wide moat & growth rate
Moreover, $LRCX derives a large portion of its revenues from memory chip production, which is a strong growth driver for the company
~40% of revenue comes from recurring-like services, making $LRCX more predictable softening sector volatility
Today at $63💵 $LRCX appears to be a great consideration, with some margin of safety
Given its high uncertainty, I’d buy in tranches and leave some room to add more if it declines further, e.g. 1/3 at $63, 1/3 at $55, 1/3 at $50
