- 0:00Every financial creator and Wall Street
- 0:02analyst is screaming that the next
- 0:04massive phase of AI has begun. If you
- 0:07own Nvidia, AMD, or Palunteer, you're
- 0:10being told to hold, buy the dip, load up
- 0:14because a multi- trillion dollar wave is
- 0:16coming. And you're probably sitting
- 0:17there thinking, "If I don't act now, I'm
- 0:20going to miss out." Typical FOMO. I
- 0:23don't agree with any of the analysts. I
- 0:24don't care what the consensus is.
- 0:26Because while everyone's getting
- 0:28emotional about the AI story, nobody's
- 0:30looking at the actual math. A great
- 0:33technological phase does not guarantee a
- 0:36great stock return if you pay a terrible
- 0:39garbage price. So, let's get into the
- 0:41numbers right now. And we're starting
- 0:43with the one that might be the most
- 0:45controversial of all three, Palunteer.
- 0:48This stock has become the poster child
- 0:50of the AI trade. So, let's see if the
- 0:52numbers actually back it up. We're going
- 0:55to lay out the bull case, then the bear
- 0:57case, and then I'm going to tell you
- 0:58what I personally believe. Bull case
- 1:00number one. For years, Palanteer was
- 1:02just a government contractor. That story
- 1:05is over. Their US commercial revenue
- 1:08surged
- 1:09149% year-over-year, and it is on pace
- 1:13to overtake the government side as their
- 1:15biggest segment before 2027. Bull case
- 1:19number two, Google, Meta, Microsoft,
- 1:22they are all building AI chat tools.
- 1:24Palanteer is building the layer that
- 1:27lets companies and governments actually
- 1:29use AI on their own private data without
- 1:32exposing it. Bulls say that gives
- 1:35Palunteer a monopoly on enterprise data
- 1:37integration that the big cloud players
- 1:40can't just copy. And bullcase number
- 1:42three, Palanteer has raised its free
- 1:44cash flow guidance to 4 and a.5 or 4.7
- 1:48billion with an operating margin of 47%.
- 1:52With fewer employees than they actually
- 1:54had 2 years ago. So every new dollar of
- 1:57revenue is almost pure profit because
- 1:59the platform is already built. Okay, so
- 2:01those are the bull cases. Now let's flip
- 2:03it. Bare case number one, the price is
- 2:06insane. Palanteer trades at roughly 154
- 2:09times earnings and 75 times sales. To
- 2:12put that into perspective, even if this
- 2:15company had zero costs, zero salary,
- 2:18zero taxes, and handed you every single
- 2:20dollar of revenue as profit, it would
- 2:23still take 75 years just to get your
- 2:25money back at today's prices. Guys,
- 2:28there is zero margin of safety here. How
- 2:31does that compare with other companies?
- 2:33Great like Microsoft and Google, they're
- 2:35selling for eight to 10 times revenue
- 2:37versus 75 on Palunteer's side. Barecase
- 2:40number two, they are printing shares to
- 2:43pay employees. Palunteer reported $315
- 2:47million in stockbased compensation in
- 2:50one single quarter. That means while
- 2:53they're showing you record profits,
- 2:54they're also quietly printing new shares
- 2:57to cover payroll, which is diluting you
- 2:59as an owner. And if you run a real
- 3:02discounted cash flow model using fully
- 3:04diluted shares instead of the basic
- 3:06count, the intrinsic value per share
- 3:08drops off a cliff. Fair case number
- 3:10three, the insiders are selling. Now,
- 3:13while retail investors are piling in on
- 3:15the AI story, corporate insiders,
- 3:17including the CEO, Alex Karp, have been
- 3:19systematically unloading shares into
- 3:21this rally. The analysts are saying that
- 3:24if the people running this company truly
- 3:25believe the stock was worth the price or
- 3:27headed much higher, why the heck are
- 3:29they cashing out? Now guys, I don't
- 3:31necessarily agree with that one at all.
- 3:33And the reason being is I believe that
- 3:35many people including CEOs being
- 3:38responsible financially are going to
- 3:40sell for a thousand different reasons.
- 3:42If they were buying, I would be much
- 3:44much more interested in that. And that's
- 3:46the stat that actually makes me very
- 3:48interested. If you look at the history
- 3:50of Palunteer's CEOs and their execs
- 3:52buying, it practically does not exist
- 3:55even when the stock was a lot lower.
- 3:57That's what kind of raises a red flag to
- 3:58me. All right, guys. So, here is
- 4:00Palanteer. The actual price of the
- 4:02company is not the price of the stock.
- 4:04It is 465 billion. That's the number of
- 4:06shares outstanding multiplied by the
- 4:08current share price. This is if you
- 4:10wanted to buy every single share
- 4:12outstanding. The next thing I look at is
- 4:14enterprise value. Guys, the vast vast
- 4:16vast vast vast majority of companies
- 4:18enterprise value is greater than the
- 4:20market cap. And the reason being is
- 4:22enterprise value is the market cap plus
- 4:24their debt minus their cash. So it's a
- 4:26basically by buying the company and
- 4:28getting rid of all the debt and emptying
- 4:31the bank account. Guys, it's 457
- 4:33billion. It's lower than the market cap.
- 4:36This is rare. This means they have more
- 4:38cash than debt. This is awesome. I love
- 4:41this about Palunteer. This is probably
- 4:43one of the best stats on Palunteer out
- 4:45there. Now, where it gets a little ugly.
- 4:48Yes, free cash flow is up a lot, almost
- 4:50triple over the last five years, but
- 4:52it's still 140 times free cash flow, 150
- 4:55times earnings. Yes, the company is
- 4:57growing like crazy, and that can
- 4:59definitely make the metric a lot easier
- 5:00to swallow. But if it's just growing
- 5:02like crazy, all it matters, then why
- 5:04don't you pay
- 5:061380 times free cash flow? at some point
- 5:09it's just too much even with all the
- 5:11growth involved. Now another great stat
- 5:14look at this. Their five-year return on
- 5:16capital is only 8% but last year 33%.
- 5:20They're really coming into stride here
- 5:22which is awesome. 85% gross margin.
- 5:25Incredible. Look at this profit margin.
- 5:2822 and a.5% a year for the last five,
- 5:3149% in the last year. and their revenue
- 5:34growth is 44% a year. Phil, I mean guys,
- 5:37this company is hitting on all
- 5:38cylinders. There's no other way around
- 5:40apart from fraud, which I'm not trying
- 5:42to say they are fraudulent, but there
- 5:44were some accounting questions we had a
- 5:46year and a half ago
- 5:48that I sit there and go, why did they do
- 5:49that? It was kind of weird, but in terms
- 5:52of overall fraud, it's probably pretty
- 5:53hard to do here. Let's go check out
- 5:55their eight pillars. Okay,
- 5:59that's the bad one. That's we talked
- 6:01about stockbased compensation increasing
- 6:03their shares outstanding a ton. Yes, the
- 6:05company has grown far more in the last
- 6:07five years to outweigh that, but it's
- 6:09still annoying. Return on capital, not
- 6:11worried about because it's so much
- 6:12better now, but these big metrics here,
- 6:15guys. Yes, their free cash flow and
- 6:17earnings are up a lot in the last 5
- 6:19years, but it's still a big number. Now,
- 6:22guys, I went through a lot there. If you
- 6:24felt overwhelmed, guess what? You're not
- 6:27alone. every great investor of all time
- 6:29was confused and overwhelmed at some
- 6:31point. I'm here and the reason I have
- 6:33this channel is to teach it in a much
- 6:36simpler way. So, I'm asking you to do me
- 6:38a quick favor. First off, if there's
- 6:39something you don't understand
- 6:40consistently in the video, put it in the
- 6:42comments below because when we see those
- 6:44comments popping up over and over, we
- 6:46will address those in videos.
- 6:48Next guys, I have an absolutely free PDF
- 6:51that'll explain all these key metrics to
- 6:53you, what they mean, how they're
- 6:55calculated, absolutely free. Click in
- 6:57the description below and you'll be able
- 6:59to download that PDF in a matter of
- 7:01seconds. And shortly, I will go over the
- 7:04price that I'm willing to pay for this
- 7:05company. But before we get there, let's
- 7:08check out the analyst estimates.
- 7:11So analysts have the company growing
- 7:13from a $146 to 1327 in profit over the
- 7:18next four years. That's basically 10x at
- 7:211327. Let's say you applied a 25 PE to
- 7:24the company, which is a lot. You're at
- 7:26what? $300 a share. Is that right? Am I
- 7:29estimating here? So that's a lot of
- 7:31potential there if they're right here
- 7:33with revenue growing from 7.7 billion to
- 7:3768 billion.
- 7:41What the This is insane. This is
- 7:44absolutely insane for a company. So
- 7:45guys, we have a little bit of story,
- 7:48little bit of numbers, and our job now
- 7:50is to put them together. But before I
- 7:52want to I want to remind everybody, we
- 7:54have our AI tool right here. And if you
- 7:56just click on that AI tool and click see
- 7:58bull and bear cases, let it work while
- 8:00you're doing other research and it'll
- 8:02pop up the top three bull and bear cases
- 8:04for this company, which I'll show you in
- 8:06just a few seconds on how it pops up. We
- 8:08make this software and this community so
- 8:11easy for you to do research. That way
- 8:13you save yourself hours and hours of
- 8:15time. So guys, here are my assumptions
- 8:18for the next 10 years on Palunteer. I
- 8:22did 15, 25, and 35% revenue growth.
- 8:26Profit margin and free cash flow. I did
- 8:2740, 47, and 55. Might be a little low
- 8:31based on what they've been doing lately,
- 8:32but I'm still comfortable with this. PE
- 8:35and price of free cash flow. What would
- 8:36I assign to this company 10 years from
- 8:38now? Not today, not an average for the
- 8:41last next 10 years. What about 10 years
- 8:44from now? Well, they have increasing
- 8:46returns on capital, which means it's a
- 8:48quality business. And they're pretty
- 8:49dominant their industry. So, it
- 8:51definitely deserves a premium versus
- 8:53historical average of 15 or 16 on the
- 8:56S&P. So, I put in 20, 24, and 28. And
- 9:00finally, guys, I'm doing my nine and a
- 9:02half percent intrinsic value return.
- 9:06Remember, this is no margin of safety.
- 9:08This is not the price I want to pay.
- 9:09It's what I think the company is worth
- 9:11based on these assumptions that I've
- 9:13made. Now, before the analyze button,
- 9:16check this out, guys. Here are all your
- 9:18bull and bear cases. This all happened
- 9:19in less than a minute. It gave you all
- 9:21of this. So, you can sit there and start
- 9:23doing your research. So guys, I hit the
- 9:25analyze button and I have a low price of
- 9:2942, high price of 340, middle price of
- 9:32123. Based on my middle assumptions, if
- 9:35I pay today's price, I'm looking at a 5%
- 9:37return. Now guys, you might be
- 9:40disagreeing with my assumptions above.
- 9:41That's what's wonderful about investing.
- 9:43We can think similar but disagree on the
- 9:46assumptions we made. That's the beauty
- 9:47of having your own stock analyzer tool
- 9:50to run the numbers on it. Another thing
- 9:52I want to address that people have asked
- 9:53about such a big range between low and
- 9:56high. That's very typical in fast
- 9:58growing companies because you don't know
- 10:00where the growth will end up being and
- 10:02their margins keep getting better. So
- 10:03it's not only it's new to profitability.
- 10:05It's still fast growing. This isn't like
- 10:07a Microsoft. It's been around forever
- 10:08and you can probably see do a much
- 10:11tighter range of revenue growth. So
- 10:13remember that as you're doing your stock
- 10:14analyzer tool. Now guys, before we dive
- 10:16into our next stock, I want to remind
- 10:18you never take our title and thumbnails
- 10:20literally. We are never here to give a
- 10:22stock tip. We're here to teach a process
- 10:24so that one day you sleep better at
- 10:27night because you know how to apply that
- 10:28process to value a stock. Make good
- 10:31assumptions about its future and
- 10:32understand that the price you're paying
- 10:34is different than the value you're
- 10:36getting. I assure you, if you stick with
- 10:39us, years down the road, you're going to
- 10:40be thanking us after you learned a
- 10:42disciplined process for valuing stocks.
- 10:44All right, guys. Next up, Nvidia. And
- 10:46unlike Palunteer, this isn't a debate
- 10:48about whether the business is real or
- 10:50not. Everybody knows the business is
- 10:52real. The question is, what are you
- 10:55paying for it? Ble case number one, they
- 10:57have monopolistic pricing power as we
- 10:59speak. Nvidia doesn't just sell GPUs
- 11:02anymore. They sell the full stack that
- 11:04everybody needs. CPUs, networking,
- 11:07software, all of it. And their revenue
- 11:10per gigawatt of data center power has
- 11:13gone from $18 billion with Hopper to 25
- 11:17billion with Blackwell to 40 billion
- 11:19with Vera Rubin. So instead of prices
- 11:22going down with competition, Nvidia is
- 11:24actually charging more every single
- 11:26cycle. Bull case number two, demand is
- 11:29locked in. Nvidia did $96 billion in
- 11:32revenue last quarter which was up 106%
- 11:35year-over-year and they guided for $ 108
- 11:38billion for next quarter. Management
- 11:41said their supply constrained through
- 11:432028. That means that demand is so high
- 11:46they cannot make chips fast enough.
- 11:49Their revenue pipeline is basically
- 11:51locked in for the next 18 months. In
- 11:54bullcase number three, and this is what
- 11:55I love to hear, the cash flow machine.
- 11:58Nvidia pulled in $21 billion in free
- 12:01cash flow in one quarter. They bought
- 12:03back $26 billion in stock and still have
- 12:07a hundred billion left on their buyback
- 12:09program. They are printing cash like a
- 12:12software company and using it to shrink
- 12:15the share count which drives earnings
- 12:17per share up even if the stock price is
- 12:19flat. Now guys remember as an investor I
- 12:22don't want them buying back expensive
- 12:24shares but we'll get to that later. And
- 12:27one more thing on Nvidia before we get
- 12:28to the bare cases. This literally just
- 12:31came out. Nvidia is acquiring Hugging
- 12:34Face for $13 billion. That name Hugging
- 12:37Face sounds like the kind of name that
- 12:39Bill Bich would make up for some social
- 12:40media company. So if you don't know what
- 12:42Hugging Face is, it is basically the
- 12:44biggest open platform in AI. 3 million
- 12:47AI models, 500,000 data sets, over 18
- 12:51million developers use it. It's where
- 12:53the open-source AI world lives. Now,
- 12:56here's why that matters. Hugging Face
- 12:58actually turned down a $500 million
- 13:00investment from Nvidia just last year.
- 13:03Because they didn't want one company
- 13:05having that much control. Now, Nvidia is
- 13:07buying the whole thing. Jensen Huang has
- 13:10said that it's about spreading open AI
- 13:12models to factories, hospitals, farms,
- 13:15classrooms, everywhere we can go. But
- 13:18let's be real about what this also does.
- 13:20It gives Nvidia control over one of the
- 13:22biggest distribution channels in AI.
- 13:25More open models means more people need
- 13:27chips to run them. And whose chips are
- 13:29they going to run them on? This is
- 13:30Nvidia's biggest acquisition ever.
- 13:32Almost double what they paid for Melanox
- 13:34back in 2020. Can I make a plea to these
- 13:37CEOs of these tech businesses? Stop
- 13:39trying to be so fancy with your names.
- 13:41Just name something Joe. Just name it
- 13:44Frank. These are the names of our
- 13:45software. It's unbelievable to me.
- 13:47>> Like Hugging Face.
- 13:48>> I'd hugging face. What a stupid
- 13:50name is Hugging Face. God, that deal is
- 13:53what turned Nvidia from a chip company
- 13:55into a data center company. This one
- 13:58could just be just as big. All right, so
- 13:59those are the bull cases. Now, let's
- 14:01flip it. Bare case number one, hardware
- 14:04is cyclical pretty much always. No
- 14:07hardware company has ever escaped this.
- 14:09Once Microsoft, Meta, Google, and Amazon
- 14:12finish building out their AI data
- 14:13centers, they shift from building mode
- 14:16to maintenance mode. These chips last
- 14:18for years. Once the world's big data
- 14:21centers are full of Blackwell and Reuben
- 14:22chips, Nvidia's revenue doesn't just
- 14:25flatten, it could actually fall off a
- 14:27cliff. Case number two, the circular
- 14:29financing problem. Nvidia is using its
- 14:32own balance sheet to fund startups, back
- 14:35leases, and guarantee loans so those
- 14:37companies can turn around and buy more
- 14:39Nvidia chips. Think about that. Nvidia
- 14:41is literally financing its own customers
- 14:43to buy its own products. That shows up
- 14:45as revenue on the income statement. But
- 14:48if those startup never figure out how to
- 14:50make money, the whole loop collapses.
- 14:52That's manufactured demand. Bearcase
- 14:54number three, the 5.4 trillion problem.
- 14:58Nvidia is a $5.4 trillion company
- 15:01trading at almost 40 times sales. To
- 15:04justify that, they don't just need a
- 15:07couple good years. They need a near
- 15:09monopoly on global computing for the
- 15:12next decade. And even if they hit every
- 15:14number perfectly, but growth slows down
- 15:17to 15%.
- 15:18The market will rerate the stock much
- 15:21lower, you can have growing earnings and
- 15:23a falling stock price at the same time.
- 15:25We see it all the time. Now guys, Tim
- 15:27just asked a great question. Hey, what's
- 15:29the difference between Nvidia doing this
- 15:31versus a Kohl's credit card or a vendor
- 15:33saying, "Hey, you can pay me on terms."
- 15:35It's a great question and one I'm sure a
- 15:37lot of people are asking. The difference
- 15:38is this.
- 15:40These a lot of these companies they're
- 15:41selling chips to these startup companies
- 15:44are either pre-revenue or they're not
- 15:46even making money. If they don't make
- 15:48that money, who's left holding the bag?
- 15:50All of a sudden, Nvidia is going to have
- 15:52to alter their financial statements to
- 15:54say, "Hey, remember these this revenue
- 15:55we booked back then? Instead of being 10
- 15:58billion, it's now going to be three
- 15:59billion because that's all we
- 16:00collected." That's the issue at hand. So
- 16:02guys, now you've seen both sides of
- 16:03Nvidia, the bull case and the bare case.
- 16:06And here's the honest question. Could
- 16:08you do that on your own? Could you pull
- 16:10up Nvidia right now, look at the actual
- 16:12financials, and figure out whether
- 16:13you're paying a fair price or a stupid
- 16:15one? Could you take a $5.4 trillion
- 16:19company that is trading at 40 times
- 16:21sales and figure out whether that gives
- 16:23you the return you need or whether
- 16:26you're just hoping for it all? Because
- 16:27that's the difference between investing
- 16:29and guessing. And guys, most people and
- 16:33every investor in their life at some
- 16:34point was guessing. That's exactly why
- 16:37we built our stock analyzer tool in our
- 16:39entire software platform. You're going
- 16:41to plug in your own assumptions, revenue
- 16:43growth, margins, how long you plan to
- 16:46hold the company, and it tells you the
- 16:48price you need to pay to hit your target
- 16:50return. Guys, these aren't my
- 16:51assumptions. It's not some analyst
- 16:53assumptions. It's your own assumption.
- 16:55You do your own math, and you guide your
- 16:57own future.
- 16:59But the best part is you're not doing it
- 17:01alone. Our whole community is in there
- 17:03running the numbers every single day,
- 17:05breaking down stocks together, going
- 17:08live together, getting better at this
- 17:10together. Guys, I did not become a
- 17:12better investor by just sitting back and
- 17:14reading book after book on my own. I
- 17:16surrounded myself with the right people.
- 17:18Guys, think about this. What's it going
- 17:21to cost you to buy Nvidia at the wrong
- 17:23price? To buy in Palanteer and overpay
- 17:26for it because a headline got you
- 17:27excited? Because everybody out there is
- 17:29screaming, "These companies are growing
- 17:30like crazy.
- 17:31But guys, one bad decision on one stock
- 17:34could cost you thousands and thousands
- 17:35of dollars. But what's the solution cost
- 17:38you? $7 for seven days, $1 per day. If
- 17:42you want that solution, go to
- 17:43everythingmoney.com. The link is right
- 17:45below in this video. So guys, let's pull
- 17:47up Nvidia here. Again, it is a $5.5
- 17:51trillion business. That's the price.
- 17:545.53 enterprise value. Not as good as
- 17:57Palanteer, but still very low debt for a
- 18:00company that's generating 127 billion in
- 18:03free cash flow over the last year. And
- 18:05guys, 193 billion in net income. This
- 18:08company is absolutely printing money.
- 18:11And as if it didn't, nothing in this
- 18:12company is bad numbers wise in terms of
- 18:15what they're generating. 73% returns on
- 18:18capital, 55% for the last five years.
- 18:21Here are the scary parts.
- 18:23the price of free cash flow the PE is
- 18:26only 28. So I know a lot of people look
- 18:28at that and say that's awesome and I
- 18:29think that is awesome but again we have
- 18:32to ask the question is their revenue and
- 18:35is their profit going to be permanent
- 18:36from here or is this going to be like
- 18:39the rest of the chip world and the rest
- 18:40of the history of chips and it's going
- 18:42to be cyclical and then end up falling
- 18:44off. So let's check out the eight
- 18:46pillars. Now this one's a lot cleaner
- 18:48than Palunteer. Our only X's here are
- 18:51the five-year price of free cash flow.
- 18:52And in defense of them, their fiveyear
- 18:54free cash flow is 52 billion. Their one
- 18:56year is 127. So, it's up a ton. So, I'm
- 18:59focused more on this one year. Same with
- 19:02the net income from 70 billion for the
- 19:04last 5 years to 193 billion. Guys, can I
- 19:07just show you guys the growth of this
- 19:08company because I think it's really
- 19:09important to understand this. This is
- 19:12annually revenue for the last 10 years.
- 19:15They had 7 billion in revenue.
- 19:18a 10 years 2017 for the entire year 7
- 19:22billion. They're doing $300 billion in
- 19:25the last year recently. What does that
- 19:27mean, guys? They almost do in one week
- 19:30now what they did the entire year of
- 19:332017. They almost do that in one week.
- 19:35Isn't that incredible? Net income wise,
- 19:39they do more net income, 193 billion.
- 19:43They did 1.67 billion. It's 150 times
- 19:46higher than in 2017. Absolutely
- 19:50incredible. And I asked the question
- 19:51again, is this sustainable?
- 19:54So, let's check out what analysts think.
- 19:58Well, guys, analysts have profit going
- 20:00from $4 per share to $20 per share. 5x
- 20:03over the next four or five years. As for
- 20:06revenue,
- 20:08213 billion going to a trillion dollars.
- 20:10Again, 5x for the next how many years?
- 20:14Absolutely insane. Absolutely insane. So
- 20:18guys, here we are to our stock analyzer
- 20:21tool. What is the company worth based on
- 20:23my assumptions? Now again, I want to
- 20:26repeat that people have to remember that
- 20:28I'm looking at this from a 10-year
- 20:30perspective, including I perceive to be
- 20:32a dip as a cycle passes through. I still
- 20:35think it's aggressive, but I put 12, 20,
- 20:38and 30% revenue growth for the next 10
- 20:40years. I did 35, 45, and 55% profit
- 20:44margin because as competition enters, as
- 20:47the chips go into a certain cycle,
- 20:49they're going to have to drop their
- 20:50margins. This actually might be high. I
- 20:52don't know. Next PE 10 years from now, I
- 20:55put an 18, 23, and 28. And again, my 9
- 20:5912% return. I hit the analyze button.
- 21:02Boom. Guys, this is what's amazing. I
- 21:05have a low price of 140, high price of
- 21:071230, middle price of 400. Look at how
- 21:10wide these ranges are. And then based on
- 21:12my middle assumption, this looks like it
- 21:14could be a buy here. The question is, do
- 21:16you believe those middle assumptions to
- 21:18be their averages for the next 10 years?
- 21:21That's the question we have to ask about
- 21:23any investment we make, even when
- 21:25there's so much green like we see here.
- 21:27All right, the last one. AMD, also known
- 21:29by people who watch this channel as
- 21:31AMD's nuts. And this is interesting
- 21:33because AMD is kind of the odd one out.
- 21:35It is not the hype stock like Palunteer
- 21:38and it's not the king like Nvidia. It's
- 21:40the alternative. So let's see if that
- 21:42actually makes it a better buy. So bull
- 21:45case number one, the price versus value
- 21:47is actually reasonable. Unlike Nvidia
- 21:50and Palanteer, AMD trades at a much more
- 21:52reasonable forward multiple. If you
- 21:55believe the AI buildout is real, but you
- 21:57don't want to pay an insane premium to
- 21:59participate, AMD might be the way that
- 22:02value investors get into this AI trade.
- 22:05Bullcase number two, everyone wants a
- 22:08second option. It's kind of like you
- 22:10want to be the less expensive house in
- 22:12your neighborhood. Microsoft, Meta,
- 22:14Oracle, these companies are desperate
- 22:17for a second chip supplier so they're
- 22:19not completely dependent on Nvidia.
- 22:21AMD's Mi300 and MI325 chips are being
- 22:25aggressively adopted as that
- 22:27alternative. The demand for a not Nvidia
- 22:30option is massive and AMD fits that
- 22:33perfectly. Bullcase number three, it is
- 22:35not just an AI story. AMD is also
- 22:38stealing serious market share from Intel
- 22:41in both PCs and data center servers.
- 22:44That gives them a diversified cash flow
- 22:46engine that doesn't depend entirely on
- 22:48the AI hype cycle to survive. So that's
- 22:52the bull case. Now let's go flip mode.
- 22:54Fair bare case number one. The margins
- 22:57are absolutely atrocious. Nvidia runs a
- 23:0075% gross margin. That means that every
- 23:02chip they sell after they pay all direct
- 23:05costs associated with that chip, 75% of
- 23:08it is profit for them to go pay their
- 23:10overhead and taxes. AMD, they sit around
- 23:1347 or 50%. That is not a small gap,
- 23:16guys. That's a completely different
- 23:19business model. Because AMD is
- 23:20undercutting Nvidia on price to win
- 23:22market share, they're eating higher
- 23:24costs on every chip they sell. That
- 23:27means way less free cash flow per dollar
- 23:30of revenue. Bare case number two, it's
- 23:33not actually cheap. Now, this is the one
- 23:35that gets people. Everyone says AMD is
- 23:38the value play, but it still trades at
- 23:41over 100 times trailing earnings. That
- 23:44means the actual profits the company is
- 23:46generating right now are nowhere near
- 23:48justifying the stock price. You're not
- 23:51paying for what AMD is. You're paying
- 23:53for what you hope it becomes. And
- 23:55barecase numero trace, they're getting
- 23:58squeezed from both sides. AMD is trying
- 24:01to fight Nvidia at the top of the AI
- 24:03market while also fending off Intel as
- 24:06they claw back CPU market share from
- 24:08below. And on top of that, their biggest
- 24:11potential customers, Google, Amazon, and
- 24:13Meta, they're building their own chips
- 24:15inhouse. AMD is stuck in the middle. So,
- 24:19let's pull up AMD and our software and
- 24:21run through the eight pillars, the
- 24:23analyst estimates, and then we will go
- 24:25look at what my price is. So, AMD's
- 24:29market cap, $760 billion. Is it even
- 24:32possible that a reasonable company can
- 24:34sell for a trillion dollars or less?
- 24:36Look at this. 763 billion enterprise
- 24:39value. That's $4 billion of debt and
- 24:42they did 8.4 billion in free cash flow
- 24:44last year. So essentially less than six
- 24:46months of their free cash flow can pay
- 24:48off their debt. Now here's what's
- 24:50interesting. Very abysmal returns on
- 24:52capital. I don't know why it's so low.
- 24:55Clearly there's a reason for that, but
- 24:57that's not a good sign for things. And
- 24:59guys, in the last [snorts] five and 10
- 25:01years, they had very consistent 10%
- 25:03margin. It has suddenly jumped to 15.6%.
- 25:06Got to ask the question of if that's
- 25:08here to stay or will it mean revert back
- 25:11to their margins of the past. Guys, very
- 25:13few acquisitions but well into 20%
- 25:17mid20s revenue growth over the last
- 25:19three, five, and 10 years. Let's go to
- 25:22the eight pillars. Four checks, 4x's. I
- 25:25should start guessing these when we do a
- 25:27video. I should start sitting there
- 25:28saying, "Okay, before I go to the eight
- 25:29pillars, I'm looking at things. I think
- 25:31it's going to be around this." So, we've
- 25:33got high PE and price of free cash flow.
- 25:35We've got not great returns on capital.
- 25:37Shares are slightly up, 1.65%. That's
- 25:40nothing compared to other companies, but
- 25:42low debt, cash flow growth, revenue
- 25:44growth, and net income growth. All
- 25:46right, so let's go to our analyst
- 25:48estimates. Wow, this is where the future
- 25:51is in the growth. $7.60 to $42 if you
- 25:57believe analysts over the next four
- 25:59years. and revenue skyrocketing from 51
- 26:02billion to 240 billion over the same
- 26:05four years. So that's where this growth
- 26:07story is. People are saying it's
- 26:09actually quite reasonable for that
- 26:11growth story. So here we are. Let's run
- 26:13our stock analyzer tool. All right,
- 26:16guys. So here's our 10-year analysis on
- 26:17AMD. Here are my assumptions for the
- 26:20next 10 years. Guys, I'm not going to
- 26:21lie to you. My revenue growth numbers
- 26:23are abysmally lower than I I'm just You
- 26:26know what? I'm gonna go higher because I
- 26:28want to make sure I give you guys
- 26:30let's go based on what people really
- 26:32think is going to happen. 14 20 and this
- 26:35might even be low still. I'm going to do
- 26:3714 20 and 26% revenue growth. They're
- 26:40factoring in way higher by analysts. Is
- 26:42it the optimism? I don't know. Now guys,
- 26:44remember profit margins lower than free
- 26:46cash flow. And because free cash flow is
- 26:47more important, I'm going to focus on
- 26:49that 12, 16, and 20%. PE I'm putting 18,
- 26:5422, and 26. Not going to lie, guys. I'm
- 26:57actually going to go lower than this
- 26:58because of their returns on capital
- 27:00being so bad. I'm going to do 14, 18,
- 27:03and 22.
- 27:05And then finally, my no margin of
- 27:07safety, 9.5% return. I hit the analyze
- 27:09button.
- 27:11Guys, I've got a low price of 70 to 95,
- 27:14high price of 400 to 540, middle price
- 27:17of 180 to 240. Anyway, I cut it, it's
- 27:20probably not a buy for me, unless I'm
- 27:23massively off on the revenue growth
- 27:25numbers. That's the big unknown here.
- 27:27The question is, are we in this
- 27:29permanent level of just massive growth
- 27:30on AI? Now, we just spent this whole
- 27:34video looking at three of the hottest AI
- 27:36stocks on the planet, the ones everybody
- 27:38is telling you to buy. But what about
- 27:39the other side? What about the stocks
- 27:41the market has completely given up on?
- 27:44In our next video, we took three of the
- 27:46worst performing stocks in the entire
- 27:48S&P 500 this year, companies that Wall
- 27:51Street said are probably dead and or
- 27:54dying, and we ran the numbers. What we
- 27:56found was very surprising because the
- 27:58math is telling a completely different
- 28:00story than the headlines. There might
- 28:02actually be real opportunity hiding in
- 28:05the stocks that nobody wants to touch.
