HYHyster-Yale, Inc.
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: priced for +13% a year vs −4% a year delivered and at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for ~13% a year FCF growth. The price already bakes in strong, sustained growth.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 31.0 vs a 19.1 median over 30 quarters (+63% vs median).
Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
What HY's price assumes
Today's price asks for 13% free cash flow growth a year; over the last three years Hyster-Yale, Inc. delivered −38%, so the price is ahead of the record.
