If you believe KEYS can sustain its 8.0% revenue growth and 62.1% gross margin profile for an extended period, then holding may be justified because the business quality is clearly better than AVY; however, if you focus on valuation discipline, reducing exposure or waiting for a materially lower entry point looks prudent given the 65.0x P/E and the DCF range of $60.11-$81.32.
KEYS trades at a large valuation premium versus AVY on every listed multiple, and the provided implied price of $94.81 suggests roughly 70.3% downside from the current price of $319.08. The gap is driven by KEYS' much higher growth and profitability, but the current market price still sits well above both AVY-implied and DCF ranges.
