Warren Buffet's Owners' Earnings:
No positive free cash flow year found to compute Owners' Earnings per share.
Note: Many highly growing companies reinvest heavily back into the business,

Heads up: One or more P/E inputs look exaggerated and may skew the blend.
• ROE Based PE
50.00 (>2× median)
Further research is recommended; please use your own due diligence.In such cases, multiplying earnings by the long-run average P/E typically gives a closer, more reliable fair value.
Rule of thumb: Last 3 Years Avg P/E (8.04)
× EPS ($1.74) = $13.99.
Last 3 Years Avg PE
8.04, Fair Value PE
15, Industry Based PE
15, RCFC Based PE
0.55, ROE Based PE
50, Risk-Free Anchored PE (25% MoS)
17.61. Based on these 6 values (after removing statistical outliers, n=5), average assigned is
19.63. Value-Trades has assined P/E value
8.04. An average (Current Year EPS + Next Year EPS) earning per share is
$1.74.
Note: Final fair value is the lesser of the blended PE-based fair value and the simple average PE × EPS fair value.Fair value using multiple P/Es (blended): $34.16 (PE 19.63 × EPS $1.74)
Fair value using simple average PE × EPS: $13.99 (PE 8.04 × EPS $1.74)
Lesser of these two: $13.99
So the Final Fair Value is: $13.99

What goes into the blended P/E?
- 20-Year Avg P/E — Long-run market baseline; conservative anchor.
- Fair Value P/E — Score-based (cash, debt, sector, etc.).
- Industry P/E — Peer group norm.
- Growth-Based P/E — Uses tapered growth rates, floored at 15.
- RCFC-Based P/E — Maps cash conversion efficiency.
- ROE-Based P/E — Higher ROE supports higher multiples.
- Risk-Free Anchored P/E — Macro floor tied to 10y yield w/ MoS.
How it works
- Extreme values are clamped/filtered (IQR method).
- Anchors (20y avg, RCFC/ROE, risk-free) are always kept if valid.
- Final fair value = min(Blended PE × EPS, Avg PE × EPS).
