Investment Q&A

Q: Trying to decide whether to keep SIS or look for something with a greater return potential. When I look at the profile, (evening Dec 18), I see that it is trading at a P/E of 25.31 which seems to be based on earnings of .86, which is very close to mathing out at the share price shown of $22.25.
I also see that the current consensus estimate for EPS in 2026 is 1.37. If SIS trades at a similar P/E in Dec 2026, as it is now, 25.31, then that would give a potential share price of $34.67, approximately 56% above the current price. I see that target prices are $26-$30. Even at $30, that would make the P/E in Dec 2026 about 21; below where it is now. So, is SIS over valued now or are the estimates too low and this should be kept or bought? The high and low P/E shown in the data are very far apart so not really applicable.

An interesting note to add is that I asked Google AI for the P/E in the last 5 years and it shows the following for Dec of each of the years shown:
2020-27.4
2021-102.7 Covid outlier I guess
2022-25.5
2023-26.2
2024-29.1
2025-25.4

Sorry for the length here but don't know how else to explain my predicament...

Was going to make this public but didn't because of length- feel free to change the status if you wish.
