Is the price fair?

Excellent

Undemanding: modest expectations priced in, cheap against its own history, and cheap vs its sector.

What the price assumes~−2% a yearderived · Jun 30, 2026

Priced for a decline (~−2% a year). Little growth is priced in even as revenue fell 1% a year over three years, potential value, or a value trap.

Vs its own P/E rangecheaper than 81% of its own historyderived

Cheap vs its own history: P/E 24.9 vs a 50.3 median over 26 quarters (−50% vs median).

Vs sector (EV/EBIT)21.1×derived · Mar 31, 2026

Sector median 30.5× across 203 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.
