Deep Analysis

The current EV/EBITDA of 14.2x means investors pay 14.2 times a company's operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for the whole business.

This sits above the sector median of 13.5x, placing it at the 52th percentile among peers — a valuation roughly in line with the middle of the pack. The metric has been increasing over the last 8 quarters, though the most recent quarter fell 1.6% from 14.5x; the year-over-year change is not available. The combination of a near-median level with a rising long-term trend but a recent quarterly dip suggests modest upside risk and limited downside. This does not clearly favor buying or selling, which supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict on the stock.
