LQDTLiquidity Services, Inc.
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: modest expectations priced in, but at the top of its own P/E range and rich vs its sector.
Priced for ~0% a year FCF growth. The price demands less than its three-year revenue growth of 16% a year, expectations look modest.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 42.3 vs a 29.2 median over 23 quarters (+45% vs median).
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.
