If you believe CMP can materially improve margins and reduce leverage without sacrificing growth, then the stock could merit a closer look because KNX-implied P/S suggests meaningful upside versus the current price; otherwise, the DCF and leverage profile argue for caution.
On a P/S basis, CMP’s current price of $29.96 is well below KNX-implied $49.42, suggesting 64.9% upside if CMP were to rerate to KNX’s multiple. However, the valuation signal is conflicted because CMP also trades at 1.0x P/S versus KNX at 1.7x while its EV/EBITDA is much richer at 29.6x versus 10.7x.
