CMCCommercial Metals Company
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though cheap vs its sector.
Priced for ~1% a year FCF growth. Roughly in line with its three-year revenue growth of 2% a year.
In its normal range: P/E 10.7 vs a 11.4 median over 41 quarters (−6% vs median).
Sector median 21.2× across 246 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 Aug 31, 2026.

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