For Sale: Relative ValueFTG on a valuation basis is trading at too large of a discount even adjusting for a small cap discount to ignore.
Forward P/E - 10.2x (HRX - 19.8x, MAL - 11.9x)
Price/Sales - 0.6x (HRX - 1.4x, MAL - 1.1x)
ROE - 53.1% (HRX - 2.3%, MAL - 15.3%)
Just putting FTG on a 15x P/E put it at 3.3 SP.
Given Aerospace/Defense consolidation if it stays under 2.5 SP for considerable period of time I don't see how someone doesn’t kick the tires on it.
