QLYSQualys, Inc.
Is the price fair?
Undemanding: modest expectations priced in, cheap against its own history, and cheap vs its sector.
Priced for a decline (~−0% a year). The price demands less than its three-year revenue growth of 10% a year, expectations look modest.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 35.0 vs a 49.3 median over 41 quarters (−29% vs median).
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.
