Earnings multiple (Graham)
Graham's earnings-multiple formula, anchored to bond yields.
At today's price, the market is pricing in about 40.0% annual free-cash-flow growth. We model 20.0% — so the price already assumes faster growth than we think is likely.
Assumptions: 12.0% discount rate (CAPM), 20.0% stage-1 growth, 2.5% terminal growth, $3.90 EPS, $4.97 annual dividend. Updated weekly.
