Is Astal Lab overvalued or undervalued?

Strong Valuation Metrics Highlight Undervaluation

Astal Lab’s price-to-earnings (PE) ratio stands at a modest 9.14, significantly lower than many of its peers in the trading and distribution space, where valuations often exceed 20 or even 100 times earnings.

The enterprise value to EBITDA ratio of 6.76 and EV to EBIT of 6.96 further reinforce the stock’s undervaluation. These multiples are well below those of several competitors, some of which trade at multiples exceeding...
