RT @BradoCapital: Great news for Fiscal's highest and most powerful tier. ๐ŸŽ‰

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.

$NBIS has been rejected twice in a row on the $100 mark.

Patience. It is a tripple digit stock. Just takes time.

๐€๐–๐’ growth is quietly re-accelerating

Over the last two quarters, ๐€๐–๐’ YoY growth has inflected higher โ€” with the September quarter marking its fastest growth rate since September 2022, despite an already massive revenue base

At the same time, ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐  continues to be a major strength

๐€๐๐ฌ revenue has compounded at a ~23% CAGR, with growth re-accelerating into the low-to-mid 20% range, making it one of the highest-margin & most durable businesses inside $AMZN

RT @DimitryNakhla: At the time, it may have sounded overly simple. Yet occasionally, Iโ€™ll include one or two sentences in my quality valuation analysis that captures something that really matters

$LRCX & memory chip production

Even if itโ€™s simple, itโ€™s important to be focused on the right drivers https://t.co/hidi4BV0gV

A quality valuation analysis on $LRCX ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

โ€ขNTM P/E Ratio: 16.66x
โ€ข10-Year Mean: 20.20x

โ€ขNTM FCF Yield: 6.80%
โ€ข10-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 ๐Ÿง ***

Before we get into valuation, letโ€™s take a look at why $LRCX is a good business

BALANCE SHEETโœ…
โ€ขCash & Short-Term Inv: $5.67B
โ€ขLong-Term Debt: $4.48B

$LRCX has a strong balance sheet, an A- S&P Credit Rating & 25x FFO Interest Coverage

RETURN ON CAPITALโœ…
โ€ข2021: 40.0%
โ€ข2022: 46.8%
โ€ข2023: 39.3%
โ€ข2024: 31.3%
โ€ขLTM: 34.9%

RETURN ON EQUITYโœ…
โ€ข2021: 69.8%
โ€ข2022: 74.8%
โ€ข2023: 62.3%
โ€ข2024: 45.7%
โ€ขLTM: 50.4%

$LRCX has strong return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business

REVENUESโœ…
โ€ข2014: $4.61B
โ€ข2024: $14.91B
โ€ขCAGR: 12.45%

FREE CASH FLOWโœ…
โ€ข2014: $571.55M
โ€ข2024: $4.26B
โ€ขCAGR: 22.24%

NORMALIZED EPSโœ…
โ€ข2014: $0.44
โ€ข2024: $3.03
โ€ขCAGR: 21.28%

PAID DIVIDENDSโœ…
โ€ข2019: $0.44
โ€ข2024: $0.80
โ€ขCAGR: 12.70%

SHARE BUYBACKSโœ…
โ€ข2015 Shares Outstanding: 1.77B
โ€ขLTM Shares Outstanding: 1.30B

By reducing its shares outstanding ~26%, $LRCX increased its EPS by ~35% (assuming 0 growth)

MARGINSโœ…
โ€ขLTM Gross Margins: 47.7%
โ€ขLTM Operating Margins: 29.7%
โ€ขLTM Net Income Margins: 26.5%

***NOW TO VALUATION ๐Ÿง 

As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~21% MORE in EPS & ~23% MORE in FCF per share

Using Benjamin Grahamโ€™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 letโ€™s assume $LRCX ends FY 2028 with $5.50 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples:

20x P/E: $110.00๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~20.2% CAGR

19x P/E: $104.50๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~18.3% CAGR

18x P/E: $99.00๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~16.4% CAGR

17x P/E: $93.50๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~14.3% CAGR

16x P/E: $88.00๐Ÿ’ต โ€ฆ ~12.2% CAGR

While itโ€™s certainly reasonable for $LRCX to trade for 18x - 20x, I wouldnโ€™t want to rely on that assumption as it doesnโ€™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 thatโ€™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 $63๐Ÿ’ต $LRCX appears to be a great consideration, with some margin of safety

Given its high uncertainty, Iโ€™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
