Cheap or expensive? relatively expensive

Its price-to-earnings (P/E) is 25.5 versus 14.1 for the median of the Financial Services sector in our universe (19 companies) — relatively expensive.

Revenue is growing 19% a year — the market is paying ahead for that growth. If it slows, the high multiple becomes the risk.

On analysts' next-year forecasts the multiple drops to 22.0 — they expect higher earnings.

The average analyst price target is 1351.00, 21% above the current price (their view, not ours).

The stock sits at 77% of its one-year range (0% = the low, 100% = the high).
