Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: growth expectations in line with delivery and in its normal P/E range.
Priced for ~8% a year FCF growth. Roughly in line with its three-year revenue growth of 7% a year.
In its normal range: P/E 27.8 vs a 26.4 median over 41 quarters (+5% vs median).
Sector median 21.2× 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.
Unless marked, from derived, as of Jun 30, 2026.
