Q: Looking at the question by Michael on Jacobs today I see a company having 2026 net revenue growth of 6-10 % but a PE of 54 ! Sure it’s a fine company in a good sector but does it really deserve a PE of 54 ? Other solid companies in Canada with historically high PE ‘s such as TRI , WSP , and FSV etc., seem to be going through a valuation revision downward. The question is will the revised valuation remain or will the premium valuation return ? Your thoughts. Thanks. Derek.

The sector often gets a premium valuation because the companies sign long term contracts....
