CPKChesapeake Utilities Corporation
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: in its normal P/E range and in line with its sector.
In its normal range: P/E 21.4 vs a 21.7 median over 41 quarters (−2% 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.
