BF-ABrown-Forman Corporation
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though modest expectations priced in.
Priced for ~2% a year FCF growth. Little growth is priced in even as revenue fell 3% a year over three years, potential value, or a value trap.
In its normal range: P/E 19.5 vs a 26.4 median over 41 quarters (−26% vs median).
Sector median 17.7× across 76 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 31, 2026.
