MIDDThe Middleby Corporation
Is the price fair?
Undemanding: modest expectations priced in and cheap vs its sector.
Priced for a decline (~−3% a year). Little growth is priced in even as revenue fell 6% a year over three years, potential value, or a value trap.
In its normal range: P/E 18.4 vs a 19.5 median over 37 quarters (−6% vs median).
Sector median 21.2× across 246 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.

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