If you believe ITW can sustain its higher operating margin and modest growth while keeping leverage under control, then the current valuation gap supports owning ITW because it trades below ILMN on every listed multiple despite stronger operating efficiency.
ITW trades at lower multiples than ILMN across P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue, while the implied price suggests 33.1% upside to $363.17 versus a current price of $272.76. However, the broader range context shows ITW already sits below ILMN-implied range midpoint but above the historical band midpoint, which tempers the case for a strong rerating.
