Is the price fair?
Undemanding: modest expectations priced in and cheap against its own history.
Priced for ~2% a year FCF growth. The price demands less than its three-year revenue growth of 11% a year, expectations look modest.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 22.5 vs a 46.0 median over 38 quarters (−51% vs median).
Sector median 15.0× across 156 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.

Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
