BBYBest Buy
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: modest expectations priced in and cheap vs its sector, but at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for a decline (~−5% a year). The price bakes in little to no growth.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 14.5 vs a 11.0 median over 41 quarters (+32% vs median).
Sector median 16.2× across 156 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.

Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
