AEPAmerican Electric Power
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though priced for +10% a year vs +4% a year delivered.
Priced for ~10% a year FCF growth. The price demands more than its three-year revenue growth of 4% a year, priced for acceleration.
In its normal range: P/E 18.1 vs a 16.4 median over 40 quarters (+11% vs median).
Sector median 22.4× across 56 covered peers. EV/EBIT counts debt as part of the price, so a cash-rich and a borrowed company can be compared on the same footing.
