Is the price fair?

Priced for ~8% a year FCF growth. Roughly in line with its three-year revenue growth of 10% a year.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 37.5 vs a 49.3 median over 41 quarters (−24% vs median).
Sector median 29.4× across 209 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.
