AWRAmerican States Water Company
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: cheap vs its sector, but priced for +33% a year vs +6% a year delivered.
Priced for ~33% a year FCF growth. The price demands more than its three-year revenue growth of 6% a year, priced for acceleration.
In its normal range: P/E 22.5 vs a 26.9 median over 41 quarters (−16% 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.
