UALUnited Airlines Holdings
Is the price fair?
Undemanding: modest expectations priced in and cheap vs its sector.
Priced for ~2% a year FCF growth. The price demands less than its three-year revenue growth of 7% a year, expectations look modest.
In its normal range: P/E 10.1 vs a 9.2 median over 30 quarters (+10% 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.
