This Q2 2022 earnings season is coming to an end so it is a good time to assess where valuations stand and how analyst have changed their expected growth for each company.

First, let’s compare P/FCF LTM vs 3-yr Revenue Growth for all companies:
Next, we see the comparison based on a P/E NTM basis vs 3-yr Revenue Growth for all companies.

Comparing valuation multiples from different industries should not be used as an investment decision driver, but it is an interesting exercise to have an overall current view:
We divided these companies on groups with similar companies based on their size, industry or type of business. Here is the first one:

1. Mega Cap Tech P/FCF LTM

$AAPL 23.3x
$GOOGL 21.7x
$META 12x
$MSFT 29.3x
$NVDA 54.2x
$TSLA 122.1x

Investing Holy Grail:
Earnings growth x multiple expansion x share buybacks.

$DPZ last 10 years:
1. P/E 20 to 30 (1.5x)
2. Earnings: $105M to $510M (4.9x)
3. Bought back 40% of their shares (1.6x)

Total return: 1.5 x 4.9 x 1.6 = 11.8x
CAGR return: 29%

Other examples?
$ODFL

Past 10 years:
1. P/E 19 to 29 (1.53x)
2. $140M to $1034M (7.4x)
3. Bought back 10.4% of shares (1.13x)

Total return: 1.53 x 7.4 x 1.13 = 12.8x
CAGR return: 30%
$AAPL

Past 10 years:
1. P/E 17 to 26 (1.53x)
2. $25.9B to $94.7B (3.65x)
3. Bought back 37% of shares (1.59x)

Total return: 1.53 x 3.65 x 1.59 = 8.8x
CAGR return: 25%

Valuations continue to decrease for high quality companies with high ROIC, that have delivered high CAGR returns over the years.

This is the comparison of the current NTM P/E versus the average 2010-2019 NTM P/E for these companies. Image
Below we can see where they were at the time and the evolution over the past month and a half.

At the time, 60% of companies where still over their historical multiples. Today, 47% are still over their historical multiples vs 53% below.

During the 2010-2019 period, the US 10-yr yield Treasury Note was usually between 2% and 3%.

Currently, we are at 2.94%. Interest rates act like gravity for valuation multiples so if the 10-yr yield continue to climb, valuation should compress further.

Bears are currently in control in the growth sector.

Fundamentals matter little on the short term when a sector is out of favor, especially after a bubble.

For long term investors, some profitable growth companies are becoming more attractive with a 3+ year investment horizon:
These companies are profitable and they are getting closer or reaching lower multiples than more mature and established non-tech companies.

Of course, WS estimates can vary with actual execution over time so an assessment of quality is key before investing. Not all will succeed
Over the short term, these companies are in a downtrend. So the expectation is that they will keep going lower, especially with inflation and the Fed's hikes and QT expectations.

Most hedge funds and traders are not adding here and will wait until a trend reversal.

Winners keep on winning.

Here we evaluate 40 of the biggest winners in the market in the past decade.

These are special companies, that have stood the test of time and delivered high returns to shareholders.

One of the main characteristics that most of these companies have in common is achieving high return on capital:
Most of these companies have achieved over 15% ROIC on average each year. And there are some that consistently sustain 20% ROIC, which is outstanding.

After Q4 earnings reports and recent volatility, we take a look at different valuation multiples of technology companies.

Many are profitable on a free cash flow basis, so first we compare EV/FCF LTM vs 3-yr Revenue Growth estimates:
Based on the business characteristics and financials, sometimes valuations between free cash flow multiples and EBITDA multiples vary widely.

In this chart, we compare EV/EBITDA NTM vs 3 year Revenue Growth estimates:
Finally, to be able to compare all companies - profitable and unprofitable - we use here EV/GP NTM vs 3-yr Revenue Growth estimates.

This may not be ideal in the current environment, but it is still a better approach than basic P/S multiples.
