LWLamb Weston Holdings, Inc.
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: at the top of its own P/E range and rich vs its sector.
Priced for ~4% a year FCF growth. Roughly in line with its three-year revenue growth of 4% a year.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 29.4 vs a 21.3 median over 40 quarters (+38% 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 Aug 30, 2026.
