BBSIBarrett Business Services, Inc.
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: priced for +18% a year vs +6% a year delivered and at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for ~18% a year FCF growth. The price demands more than its three-year revenue growth of 6% a year, priced for acceleration.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 23.8 vs a 17.3 median over 29 quarters (+38% vs median).
Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
