The company currently exhibits a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 27.39 and a price-to-book value of 3.13. Its enterprise value to EBITDA stands at 15.69, while the EV to EBIT is recorded at 20.82.

This context highlights the company's relative position within a competitive landscape marked by higher valuations among its peers.
