MRTNMarten Transport, Ltd.
Is the price fair?
A demanding price: at the top of its own P/E range and rich vs its sector.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 73.6 vs a 17.0 median over 41 quarters (+333% 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.
