Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though priced for +34% a year vs +6% a year delivered.
Priced for ~34% a year FCF growth. The price demands more than its three-year revenue growth of 6% a year, priced for acceleration.
In its normal range: P/E 23.4 vs a 26.9 median over 41 quarters (−13% vs median).
Sector median 21.3× 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.
