Is the price fair?
A demanding price: priced for +13% a year vs −2% a year delivered and rich vs its sector.
Priced for ~13% a year FCF growth. The price already bakes in strong, sustained growth.
In its normal range: P/E 25.0 vs a 27.6 median over 30 quarters (−9% 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.
