Any thoughts on current level? It looks attractive. What bothers me is that there is hardly any insidership. That's why I put them back again and again.

Interesting blog.

Just on the "5-Year Average PE Ratio", given this is a valuation measure, isn't it illogical to compare the average 5 year PE ratio against a benchmark, as more relevant is the current valuation, and (perhaps) historical valuation levels. E.g. if a high quality company has often traded at an optically high valuation level (say 30x), but is currently at 14x due to a temporary issue, it would fail your criteria and yet may be very attractive.

Great article. On the valuation side, I would say to not be too conservative. Its common practice to reduce long term growth rates in DCFs to 3% or here 7% but sometimes it makes no common sense from a business perspective if they can continue to acquire or if the TAM is very big. It changes the valuation a lot.

I would look at cyclicality (covid boost, industry?) but it is hard to figure out in details sometimes.
