WSWorthington Steel, Inc.
Is the price fair?
Neither cheap nor expensive: nothing decisive, though rich vs its sector.
Priced for ~16% a year FCF growth. Roughly in line with its three-year revenue growth of 15% a year.
Sector median 17.6× across 53 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.
All from derived, as of Aug 31, 2026.
