Charlie: worth
11.6x

You pay 59.1x times this business's cash flow; its sector median is 35.5x.

80% above what Charlie thinks it's worth (11.6x) — you're overpaying, sector or no sector.

Why does Charlie give it 11.6x?

The multiple is how many times its cash flow the business is worth.

An average business of its kind is worth 35.5x. This one drops from there:

↑ up

Grows 22% a year. next year's cash flow will be larger than today's.

That's why it's worth 11.6x, less than the 35.5x average.

Why Overvalued?

Its free cash flow is $12.02/share × 11.6x multiplier minus $31.67 in negative net cash = $107.88 in intrinsic value. Today's price of $678.84 is 84% above the calculated value — the market is paying a premium over what the model sees as fair.

⚠️

The price is 529% above the calculated value. You're paying more than it's worth.

The business

Quanta pone los cables y las torres que encienden Norteamérica.

Quanta construye y mantiene la infraestructura eléctrica, de gasoductos y renovables: tiende líneas, moderniza la red y conecta parques solares y eólicos. Cobra por proyecto y por contratos de mantenimiento recurrente. En 2025 facturó $28.5B, casi todo con margen bruto del 15% — un negocio de volumen, no de lujo.

Su ventaja es el ejército de electricistas y linieros entrenados: la mayor fuerza laboral especializada del sector en Norteamérica. Eso no se copia con capital, se copia con años formando gente que escasea. Aun así, no es un foso infranqueable — hay rivales capaces y el cliente compara precios.

From $13.0B to $28.5B in 4 years — nearly 2.2x its size. Selling more and more is the base of everything else.

Cost of sales$24.2B · 85%

Of every $100 in sales, $96 goes to costs and operations; $4 is left as net profit (4% margin).

Catalysts and risks

Ola de inversión en la red por demanda de centros de datos e IA (2025-2030).

Subsidios de la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación (IRA) para renovables.

Cartera de pedidos récord respaldando ingresos futuros.

⚠️

Margen bruto del 15%: poco colchón ante sobrecostos o retrasos.

⚠️

Deuda de $5.2B contra apenas $0.4B en caja.

⚠️

Depende del gasto de capital de las eléctricas, que puede frenarse en recesión.

Charlie's note

A 11.6x el flujo normalizado y creciendo al 22%, el negocio no pide disculpas. El problema es lo que el mercado le suma encima: paga años de crecimiento por adelantado en una empresa con márgenes del 15% y sin foso real. La ejecución tiene que ser perfecta, y perfecta rara vez es barata.
