Calculation Guidance 2 Tykr Fair Value Formula

What is the Tykr fair value formula?

As mentioned on Investopedia.com, “There is no universal standard for calculating the intrinsic value of a company.”

The Fair Value is the estimated share price of a stock in 10 years.

Inspiration Behind the Tykr Fair Value Formula

The Tykr fair value formula is inspired by Benjamin Graham and Phil Town but with a few modifications. Phil Town’s method adds a more dynamic perspective, incorporating growth assumptions into the valuation. You may learn more about Phil’s calculations and principles in his books (Rule #1, Payback Time, and Invested). Graham’s approach, known for its rigorous and conservative stance, focuses on fundamentals to determine a stock’s worth.

Comparing Fair Value Equations

To understand how to value stocks, it’s important to compare different fair value formulas. Below is a comprehensive comparison of the various fair value formulas:

  • Benjamin Graham’s fair value formula is expressed as (EPS*(P/E Ratio of 7% + 15%)*(Minimum Bond Rate of 4.4% * 100)/(AAA Bond Rate of 3%).
  • Phil Town’s fair value formula is (EPS*P/E Ratio)*((1+AnnualizedEPSGrowthRate)^10)/4.
  • The Tykr fair value formula, which is (SharePrice∗(1+AnnualizedEPSGrowthRate)^10)/4.

The Tykr fair value formula introduces modifications aimed at refining accuracy. Each formula offers unique insights, but the Tykr approach incorporates additional adjustments to better reflect a company’s potential.

The Swim Lane Adjustment

The Tykr fair value formula features what we call a “Swim Lane” to handle variations in EPS growth rates. This adjustment ensures that companies with extremely high or low growth rates are accurately represented. We cap the high-end EPS Growth Rate to 35% and the low-end EPS Growth Rate at 15%.

Fair Value Calculation Equation + Examples

Equation: (Share Price*(1+Annualized EPS Growth Rate)^10)/4 = Tykr Fair Value Formula

  • If the Annualized EPS Growth Rate is equal to or greater than 35%, the highest growth rate is set to 35%.
  • If the Annualized EPS Growth Rate is equal to or less than 15%, the lowest growth rate is set to 15%.

Where…

  • Share Price = Current Share Price
  • Annualized EPS Growth Rate = Annualized EPS Growth Rate over 4 years
  • 10 = 10 years for the Rule of 10
  • 4 = Conservative estimate

Data inputs you’ll require…

  • Share Price
  • EPS = EPS TTM
  • EPS4 = EPS 4 Years Past
  • 10
  • 4

Equation 1 

Equation 1 Description:  We need to determine the total EPS growth rate over 4 years.

Equation 1:  (EPS – EPS4)/(ABS(EPS4)) = Total EPS Growth Rate

Equation 2 

The task for Equation 2 is to compute the yearly EPS growth rate across four years.

Equation 2:  (1+(Total EPS Growth Rate))^(1/4)-1 = Annualized EPS Growth Rate

  • If the Annualized EPS Growth Rate is equal to or greater than 35%, the highest growth rate is set to 35%.
  • If the Annualized EPS Growth Rate is equal to or less than 15%, the lowest growth rate is set to 15%.

Equation 3

Equation 3 Description:  Now we need to determine the Fair Value.

Equation 3:  (Share Price*(1+Annualized EPS Growth Rate)^10)/4 = Tykr Fair Value


Example 1:  Alphabet (GOOGL)

Data inputs you’ll require…

  • Share Price = $1,731
  • EPS = 49.59
  • EPS4 = 23.11
  • 10
  • 4

Equation 1

Equation 1 Description:  We need to determine the total EPS growth rate over 4 years.

Equation 1:  (EPS – EPS4)/(ABS(EPS4)) = Total EPS Growth Rate

Equation:  (49.59 – 23.11)/(ABS(23.11)) = 114.58%

Equation 2

For the purpose of Equation 2, assess the EPS growth rate on a yearly basis over four years.

Equation 2:  (1+(Total EPS Growth Rate))^(1/4)-1 = Annualized EPS Growth Rate

Equation:  (1+(1.1458))^(1/4)-1 = 21.03%

Equation 3

Equation 3 Description:  Now we need to determine the Fair Value.

Equation 3:  (Share Price*(1+Annualized EPS Growth Rate)^10)/4 = Tykr Fair Value

Equation:  (1,731*(1+.2103)^10)/4 = $2,918.92


Example 2:  Meta Platforms (META)

Data inputs you’ll require…

  • Share Price = $277
  • EPS = 6.48
  • EPS4 = 1.31
  • 10
  • 4

Equation 1

Equation 1 Description:  We need to determine the total EPS growth rate over 4 years.

Equation 1:  (EPS – EPS4)/(ABS(EPS4)) = Total EPS Growth Rate

Equation:  (6.48 – 1.31)/(ABS(1.31)) = 394.66%

Equation 2

Description of Equation 2 : We need to determine the annualized EPS growth rate over those 4 years.

Equation 2:  (1+(Total EPS Growth Rate))^(1/4)-1 = Annualized EPS Growth Rate

Equation:  (1+(3.9466))^(1/4)-1 = 49.13%

The Annualized EPS Growth Rate is 49.13% which is higher than 35%.  So, in this case, we change the Annualized EPS Growth Rate to 35% below.

Equation 3

Equation 3 Description:  Now we need to determine the Tykr Fair Value.

Equation 3:  (Share Price*(1+Annualized EPS Growth Rate)^10)/4 = Tykr Fair Value

Equation:  (277*(1+.35)^10)/4 = $1,392.37
