NYTThe New York Times Company
Is the price fair?
The yardsticks disagree: cheap against its own 5-year P/E range (8th percentile) but the cash-flow math implies demanding growth. Treat as fair, not cheap.
Priced for ~4% a year FCF growth. Roughly in line with its three-year revenue growth of 8% a year.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 27.6 vs a 35.2 median over 37 quarters (−22% vs median).
Sector median 16.8× across 43 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.
Against the whole market›
Percentile against every name Ryufin tracks. Higher is better; the tick marks the middle of the market. Context, not one of the checks above.
Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
