Market Cap: $105.6 billion

Revenue 5-year CAGR (2016-2021 estimates): 18%

EPS 5-year CAGR: 18%

Price Target: $1,200

Comment: "Investments in cloud/YouTube/hardware are likely to weigh on GOOGL's near-term profitability, upward revisions, and share price outperformance," said Brian Nowak. "That said, we feel that the additional capex/R&D is necessary to take advantage of the large greenfield opportunities ahead (Waymo, Verily,etc.). We are fully supportive of these investments over the long term as they should enable GOOGL to expand its ecosystem and fuel its innovation and monetization drivers."

EPS 5-year CAGR: 9%

"NextEra’s Florida Utility business will in our view grow at an above-average rate, and NextEra’s renewable energy development business has generated ~20% levered equity returns for over a decade, driven by barriers to entry in this business."

Market Cap: $12.32 billion

Revenue 5-year CAGR (2016-2021 estimates): 11%

EPS 5-year CAGR: 16%

Price Target: $130

Comment: "Ramping public cloud adoption + improving margins = framework for a $1 trillion market cap … and beyond," said Keith Weiss. "A public cloud solution portfolio spanning core infrastructure services (e.g. compute, storage), to compelling platform-as-a-service capabilities (e.g. data, identity, analytics, machine learning), and up the stack to the application layer (e.g. productivity apps, front office apps, core financials) differentiates the Microsoft public cloud offering from peers.

However, it is the combination of these Public Cloud assets with pre-existing enterprise assets, including a large existing customer base,expansive direct and indirect distribution channel, over 6 million .Net developers, and a suite of strong on-premise technology that likely drives continuing share gains over the next three years."

Revenue 5-year CAGR (2016-2021 estimates): 12%

EPS 5-year CAGR: 19%

Price Target: $142

Comment: "One of the best business models we’veseen: We see Visa as a prime beneficiary of consumer spending trends and ongoing secular shifts from cash/check to electronic forms of payment," said James Faucette. "It benefits from network effects as increasing merchant acceptance drive more usage, and vice versa. The cost base is largely fixed, driving declining cost per transaction and steady uplift for operating margins as volume grows."

Market Cap: $10.57 billion

Revenue 5-year CAGR (2016-2021 estimates): 13%

EPS 5-year CAGR: 24%

Price Target: $260

Comment: Domino's has the best-in-class same-store sales and unit growth in QSR," said John Glass. "Domino's targets system sales growth (units+SSS) of 8-12% over the next 3-5 years, and recent performance is at the top end of, or exceeding, this range — placing it ahead of global peers. Our work suggests that quick service system sales growth forecasts correlate highly with valuation (on a FCF basis), supporting DPZ's premium valuation."
