ELThe Estée Lauder Companies
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: priced for +11% a year vs −2% a year delivered, at the top of its own P/E range, and rich vs its sector.
Priced for ~11% a year FCF growth. The price already bakes in strong, sustained growth.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 221.8 vs a 39.7 median over 35 quarters (+459% 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.
Unless marked, from derived, as of Jun 30, 2026.

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