Is the price fair?
Priced for +22% a year vs +17% a year delivered. That is the only one of 3 checks this filer's data supports, so take it as a single data point rather than a settled answer.
Priced for ~22% a year FCF growth. The price demands more than its three-year revenue growth of 17% a year, priced for acceleration.
Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
