If you believe CMP can sustain revenue growth while meaningfully expanding margins and reducing leverage, then consider the P/S-based upside; otherwise, avoid paying for the implied rerating because CMP's negative net income, 5.6% EBITDA margin, and 11.4x net debt/EBITDA do not yet support an ADP-like valuation.
CMP trades at 1.0x P/S versus ADP at 4.7x, while the model implies a $140.10 price for CMP versus a $29.96 current price, or 367.6% upside. However, that gap is hard to justify on fundamentals because CMP has negative net income and far weaker margins than ADP, so the comparison likely overstates CMP's fair value.
