EXPOExponent, Inc.
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though cheap against its own history.
Priced for ~9% a year FCF growth. Moderate growth expectations are priced in.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 31.3 vs a 42.6 median over 41 quarters (−27% 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.
