Is the price fair?
The yardsticks disagree: cheap against its own 5-year P/E range (0th percentile) but the cash-flow math implies demanding growth. Treat as fair, not cheap.
Priced for ~16% a year FCF growth. The price demands more than its three-year revenue growth of 11% a year, priced for acceleration.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 20.2 vs a 37.2 median over 41 quarters (−46% vs median).
Sector median 16.6× across 78 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.
