ALKSAlkermes plc
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: priced for +12% a year vs +4% a year delivered and at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for ~12% a year FCF growth. The price demands more than its three-year revenue growth of 4% a year, priced for acceleration.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 114.7 vs a 14.9 median over 13 quarters (+669% vs median).
Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
