Is the price fair?
A demanding price: priced for +15% a year vs +6% a year delivered and at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for ~15% 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 43.1 vs a 13.7 median over 36 quarters (+215% vs median).
