Valuation

Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.

Seeded from MA's reported EPS growth of 17.1% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$36.74
Implied price
$1,249
Return from $569.29
17.0% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $621.08 — today's price is already 8.3% below that.

How sensitive is that answer?

Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.

growth \ P/E2429343944

27.1%18.5%23.0%27.0%30.5%33.7%

This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

    >>62591641 They have the most power, they are holding out on signing contracts until they get a fair price per MW. A tactic which NBIS has just adopted. NBIS & IREN will be the Visa & Mastercard of neoclouds, worth holding both in my smigging opinion.
