SXTSensient Technologies Corporation
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: at the top of its own P/E range and rich vs its sector.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 35.1 vs a 25.4 median over 41 quarters (+38% vs median).
Sector median 18.9× across 51 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.

Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
