RT @BradoCapital: Great news for Fiscal's highest and most powerful tier. ๐
We REDUCED the price significantly from $199 to $79.
Why?...
The highest tier was priced at a point for the math to work for our Sales Team.
However, our Sales Team is focused on our B2B Data API product.
Which makes sense, these are great for the business and you'll be seeing our data more and more embedded around the platforms you know and use.
Given this, we've made the decision to move the most powerful plan to less than half of the price and entirely self-serve.
Institutional analytical capabilities for a disruptive price. For the first time, things like click-thru audit to filing, exporting capabilities, adjusted figures, as-reported financials and more for this attractive price.
This is available now.
Existing Enterprise subscribers: You still have every feature and we are applying credit towards future invoices so that you are not overpaying in future.
Legacy subscribers (Legacy Plus and Legacy Pro): You have every feature in the Max Tier. Thank you for your ongoing and early support.

$LRCX & memory chip production

โขNTM FCF Yield: 6.80%

Going forward, investors can receive ~21% MORE in earnings per share & ~23% MORE in FCF per share ๐ง ***
Before we get into valuation, letโs take a look at why $LRCX is a good business
BALANCE SHEETโ

โข2015 Shares Outstanding: 1.77B
โขLTM Shares Outstanding: 1.30B
By reducing its shares outstanding ~26%, $LRCX increased its EPS by ~35% (assuming 0 growth)
MARGINSโ
โขLTM Gross Margins: 47.7%

โขLTM Net Income Margins: 26.5%
***NOW TO VALUATION ๐ง
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~21% MORE in EPS & ~23% MORE in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Grahamโs 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 letโs assume $LRCX ends FY 2028 with $5.50 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples:
20x P/E: $110.00๐ต โฆ ~20.2% CAGR
19x P/E: $104.50๐ต โฆ ~18.3% CAGR
18x P/E: $99.00๐ต โฆ ~16.4% CAGR
17x P/E: $93.50๐ต โฆ ~14.3% CAGR
16x P/E: $88.00๐ต โฆ ~12.2% CAGR
While itโs certainly reasonable for $LRCX to trade for 18x - 20x, I wouldnโt want to rely on that assumption as it doesnโt leave us with a substantial margin of safety
Yet, $LRCX still appears to have attractive return potential if we assume 16x - 17x, a multiple thatโs 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 $63๐ต $LRCX appears to be a great consideration, with some margin of safety
Given its high uncertainty, Iโd 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
