JJacobs Solutions
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for ~7% a year FCF growth. Moderate growth expectations are priced in.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 48.8 vs a 22.8 median over 41 quarters (+115% 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 Jun 26, 2026.

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