CWTCalifornia Water Service Group
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though rich vs its sector.
In its normal range: P/E 21.6 vs a 26.6 median over 41 quarters (−19% 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.
