Is the price fair?
A demanding price: priced for a lot of growth and rich vs its sector.
Priced for ~23% a year FCF growth. The price already bakes in strong, sustained growth.
In its normal range: P/E 16.4 vs a 19.1 median over 25 quarters (−14% 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.
Unless marked, from derived, as of Jul 3, 2026.

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