The narrative from DailyInvestors leans on very strong cash flow, upbeat earnings commentary, and a future profit multiple that implies a much lower fair value than the current price.

Another angle on value: earnings multiple vs fair value signals
The user narrative leans on a fair value of $10.71, yet current P/E tells a very different story. At 8.4x earnings, VIRT trades well below its peer average of 19.8x, the US Capital Markets industry at 30.8x, and even below an estimated fair ratio of 15.3x. That gap suggests the market is either heavily discounting execution and forecast risks or offering a potential mispricing. Which explanation do you find more convincing?
