ARCBArcBest Corporation
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: at the top of its own P/E range and rich vs its sector.
Priced for ~4% a year FCF growth. Moderate growth expectations are priced in.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 182.3 vs a 14.2 median over 41 quarters (+1186% vs median).
Sector median 23.3× across 246 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.
Unless marked, from derived, as of Jun 30, 2026.
