Brief overview of Kansas City Southern's market valuation
The comparison uses the five latest available annual observations between 2016 and 2020.
The latest available valuation ratios are P/E 32.62x (median 19.43x), EV/EBITDA 17.04x (median 11.18x), P/S 7.65x (median 4.47x). Multiples are on average 67.9% above their own medians. A substantial share of positive expectations may already be priced in.

On PEG (2.23x), valuation is stretched relative to growth and requires strong execution.
