CMCCommercial Metals Company
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though cheap vs its sector.
Priced for ~6% a year FCF growth. Moderate growth expectations are priced in.
In its normal range: P/E 12.1 vs a 11.1 median over 40 quarters (+8% 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 May 31, 2026.
