Is the price fair?

Excellent

Undemanding: modest expectations priced in, cheap against its own history, and cheap vs its sector.

3 good

What the price assumes~−12% a year

Priced for a decline (~−12% a year). Little growth is priced in even as revenue fell 1% a year over three years, potential value, or a value trap.

Vs its own P/E rangecheapest in 41 quartersderived

Cheap vs its own history: P/E 6.0 vs a 12.1 median over 41 quarters (−50% vs median).

Vs sector (EV/EBIT)5.3×

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.

Unless marked, from derived, as of Jul 4, 2026.
