Q: what 3 metrics do you use to value DSG. compare these to the last 3 years is DSG close to a duopoly. if not name their major competitors. thanks Richard
5i Research Answer:
For valuing DSG we like using its forward P/E, forward EV/EBITDA and forward price-to-sales.
Its forward P/E of 42.7X is at the low end relative to its last three years (ranging from 44X to 53X), but higher than the past 10 years.
Its forward EV/EBITDA of 26X is in line with its past three years average, but closer to the high end over the past 10 years.
Its forward P/S of 12.3X is mostly in line with its past three years, but higher than its past 10 years' average.
DSG does not operate in a duopoly, and some of its competitors are ORCL, KXS, SAP, and others.
