LKQLKQ Corporation
Is the price fair?
Undemanding: modest expectations priced in, cheap against its own history, and cheap vs its sector.
Priced for a decline (~−9% a year). The price bakes in little to no growth.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 9.8 vs a 14.5 median over 41 quarters (−32% vs median).
Sector median 15.0× across 156 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.

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.
