Is the price fair?
Undemanding: modest expectations priced in and cheap vs its sector.
Priced for a decline (~−2% a year). The price bakes in little to no growth.
In its normal range: P/E 13.6 vs a 15.6 median over 41 quarters (−13% 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 Jul 31, 2026.
