@JerBearRN@danroberts0101@IREN_Ltd $IREN has been decommissioning their Bitcoin mining hardware (ASICs) in their data centers and replacing them with the GPUs needed for AI workflows.
They wrote off a large portion of the old hardware from the balance sheet as a non-cash impairment charge of ($450)m this quarter
@Ashton_1nvests I like it, but this is the first time since the spin off that $BAM is at a meaningfully more attractive valuation, with higher growth and better business model
@janiscir@qualtrim No, I’m bullish on a company you pay $3 million to create $10 million+ in value.
Dilution for H1 26 was 0.49%. SBC is barely a problem it’s 13% of revenue and shrinking as a % every year.
I found it to be my kind of value 3 years ago 🤷
@janiscir@qualtrim FCF Projections:
2026 E FCF guide is $4.4B
2027 E FCF = 4.4B x 100% = 8.8B
2028 E FCF = 8.8B x 56% = 13.7B (informal guide $15B-18B)
2029 E FCF = 13.7B x 47% = $20.1B
2030 E FCF = 20.1B x 39% = $27.99
@qualtrim “let’s just apply last decades P/E and then subtract 1 to be ‘conservative’ and use that as the terminal P/E completely ignoring how the business will significantly mature over the next 10 years”
@BagholderQuotes Friends don’t let friends project the valuation of a business using one-time investment gains (that could easily turn to losses) in a way that assumes it will be repeatable for future EPS growth.
But what’s a dozen turns of inflated EPS between friends to pump your valuations
@MetacriticCap Anyone who knows anything about accounting knows that blindly using the same measures for wildly varying businesses will lead to terrible analysis
@MetacriticCap Mom! I am scared!
People are quoting GAAP accounting like it’s the gospel and not a framework based on tradeoffs and assumptions.
True P/E measures how many dollars paid for a dollar of REPEATABLE earnings
One time investment gains are not part of the core business
@FluentInQuality maybe use earnings at a time $META is spending historic Capex?
16% EPS growth with a 25 PE for a 12% CAGR over the next 5 years is far more reasonable.
This is using only $23.49 of TTM EPS btw stripping out the one time tax benefits.
