- Advanced Model
Assets Mentioned
- Apple Inc. (AAPL)
- Meta Platforms Inc. (META)
Methodologies / Frameworks
Guided Model (Simplified, 3-Year Forecast)
This model requires the user to input three key assumptions to generate a valuation and return forecast:
-
Revenue Growth Rate through 2028 (3-year horizon) Example: Apple consensus ~5.3%, user input 6-12%
-
Operating Margin average through 2028 Example: Apple margins trending up, user sets 30%
-
Exit Price-to-Earnings (PE) Multiple at end of 2027 Example: Apple historical average ~28, user sets 25 (multiple compression)
Additional features:
- The system provides historical data and consensus estimates for guidance.
- Outputs include:
- Target stock price
- Total return
- Annualized return
- Results are visualized graphically and in summary tables.
- Sharing/export options include copying a link or exporting an image for social media.
Advanced Model (Detailed, Customizable Forecast)
This model allows for more granular inputs and customization, including:
- Revenue
- EBIT and EBIT margins
- Share count changes
- Dividends
- Future PE multiples (with the ability to model multiple years)
Key functionalities:
- Real-time updates of valuation and returns as inputs change.
- Scenario analysis with high/low assumptions to model base, bullish, and bearish cases.
- Comparison of user assumptions versus Wall Street consensus estimates on each line item.
- Ability to revisit and update models based on new company developments or macroeconomic changes.
- Sharing/export options similar to the Guided Model.
Key Numbers & Examples
Apple (Guided Model)
- Revenue growth consensus: 5.3% → user input 6-12%
- Operating margin: set to 30%
- Exit PE multiple: consensus 28 → user input 25
Meta (Advanced Model)
- Revenue growth consensus: ~12-13% → user input 16%
- Share count shrinkage: user sets -2% annually
- Future PE multiples: user sets 25 initially, declining to 23 in later years
- EBIT margins and dividends can be adjusted; example keeps margins as consensus and dividends unchanged
- Scenario modeling example: growth slows to 5% in 2026 before rebounding
Recommendations & Cautions
- Use historical data and consensus estimates as a baseline but customize based on your own investment thesis.
- The platform supports iterative updates as new information arises (e.g., earnings surprises, capex changes).
- Scenario modeling helps manage risk by considering multiple outcomes.
- Sharing features facilitate collaboration or social sharing but no explicit financial advice is provided.

Summary
This video explains how to use TIKR’s valuation model hub to forecast stock upside using two approaches:
- A simple guided model with three key inputs (revenue growth, operating margin, PE multiple).
- A more detailed advanced model allowing granular customization of financial line items and scenario analysis.
Examples with Apple (AAPL) and Meta (META) illustrate how to input assumptions, compare them with consensus, and generate expected returns and target prices. The platform supports ongoing updates and sharing features to facilitate collaborative investing and thesis tracking.
