POWLPowell Industries, 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 ~17% a year FCF growth. The price demands less than its three-year revenue growth of 21% a year, expectations look modest.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 36.8 vs a 20.5 median over 29 quarters (+80% 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.
