Another Way To Look At Value
The earlier narrative leans on future earnings to argue IDT is undervalued, but the current P/E of 15x tells a tougher story. It sits well above the 5.6x peer average and above a fair ratio of 11.8x. This points to valuation risk rather than a clear bargain. So which signal do you treat as more important?
