Attractive Valuation Metrics
The trailing P/E ratio of 44.90692 is high, but considering the forward P/E (not provided but implied by positive earnings surprises and growth), and the company's position in industrial automation and digital transformation, it may still offer value for growth investors. The P/S ratio of 6.8 (TTM) is also high, but the company's strong net income of $675.1M suggests robust profitability within its revenue.
Consistent EPS Surprises

High Valuation Multiples
