Another perspective: What Cinch’s PER tells us

While SWS’ DCF model flags Cinch as undervalued with a fair value of SEK 64.66 compared to a stock price of SEK 32.95, the earnings multiple sends a completely different signal. Cinch’s P/E ratio of 65.6x is higher than the Swedish Software industry’s P/E ratio of 24.3x and its peers’ P/E ratio of 21.1x, which is higher than the estimated fair multiple of 43.9x. This suggests that investors are already paying a premium. Which signal is more reliable at this price?
