ZDZiff Davis, Inc.
Is the price fair?
Undemanding: modest expectations priced in and cheap against its own history.
Priced for a decline (~−10% a year). Little growth is priced in even as revenue fell 1% a year over three years, potential value, or a value trap.
Cheap vs its own history: P/E 3.3 vs a 24.3 median over 40 quarters (−87% vs median).
Sector median 18.9× across 43 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.
Unless marked, from derived, as of Jun 30, 2026.

Percentile against every name Ryufin tracks. Higher is better; the tick marks the middle of the market. Context, not one of the checks above.
Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
