NPKNational Presto Industries, Inc.
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though at the top of its own P/E range.
Priced for ~15% a year FCF growth. Roughly in line with its three-year revenue growth of 17% a year.
Expensive vs its own history: P/E 18.8 vs a 10.5 median over 23 quarters (+80% vs median).
Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
