Profile


More Valuation

Price To Book: 57.1
Not so great value. Low Price to Book means better value. A P/B value of 5 or less is great. But consider other metrics and maybe the growth and yield makes it worth it.
EV to EBITDA: 9.81
Great Value! A low EV to EBITDA ratio is great. Ideally, under 10. Under 17 is okay.
