CALMCal-Maine Foods, Inc.
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: at the top of its own P/E range and rich vs its sector.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 51.3 vs a 10.4 median over 30 quarters (+391% 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.

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