Google Inc. Quarterly Valuation – March 2015 $GOOGL
Google should satisfy the Enterprising Investor, but not the Defensive Investor. The Defensive Investor is concerned with the lack of dividends and the high PEmg and PB ratios. The Enterprising Investor is only concerned by the lack of dividends. Therefore, Enterprising Investors should feel very comfortable proceeding to the next part of the analysis, which is a determination of the company’s intrinsic value.
From a valuation side of things, the company has grown its EPSmg (normalized earnings) from $9.67 in 2010 to $18.19 for 2014. This level of demonstrated growth is in line with the market’s implied estimate for earnings growth of 11.24% over the next 7-10 years. The ModernGraham valuation model, therefore, returns an estimate of intrinsic value falling within a margin of safety relative to the current price, indicating the company is fairly valued at the present time.
