Is the price fair?
A demanding price: priced for +12% a year vs +4% a year delivered and at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for ~12% a year FCF growth. The price demands more than its three-year revenue growth of 4% a year, priced for acceleration.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 31.9 vs a 15.7 median over 38 quarters (+103% vs median).
Sector median 29.4× across 209 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 25, 2026.

Percentile against every name Ryufin tracks. Higher is better; the tick marks the middle of the market. Context, not one of the checks above.
Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
