Deep Analysis

Among sector peers, the median EV/EBITDA is 13.6x, placing LH at the 47th percentile — slightly below the midpoint. The metric has been increasing over the last eight quarters, with a quarter-over-quarter rise of +1.0% from 12.9x; no year-over-year change is available. A valuation level just under the sector median combined with an upward trend suggests the stock is becoming more expensive relative to peers, which may reduce the margin of safety for new buyers. This does not indicate extreme overvaluation, but it warrants monitoring as the trend continues. The overall NEUTRAL verdict is supported, as the metric remains in line with peers and shows a moderate uptick rather than a strong divergence.
