KBR looks materially cheaper than PPL on earnings and sales multiples, but the fundamental mix is mixed because KBR has stronger ROIC and much lower valuation, while PPL shows faster growth and much higher margins.
If you believe KBR can sustain its high ROIC while closing part of the margin and growth gap versus PPL, then KBR looks attractive to own because it trades at much lower valuation multiples despite solid quality scores and a below-DCF current price.
KBR trades at a steep discount to PPL on every provided valuation multiple, with P/E at 11.3x versus 23.2x, P/S at 0.6x versus 3.1x, and EV/EBITDA at 6.8x versus 10.7x. The model-implied price of $74.48 implies 104.5% upside, but that appears aggressive relative to the historical band and DCF range.
