XELXcel Energy
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 20.2 vs a 18.6 median over 41 quarters (+9% vs median).
Sector median 22.4× across 56 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.
