If you believe LGND can sustain its 60.4% revenue growth and justify a persistent premium despite its 52.1x P/E, then hold or buy selectively; otherwise, the current price looks stretched versus PSA-like relative valuation and the DCF range.
LGND trades at a premium to PSA on every listed valuation multiple, yet the implied price of $224.30 sits 29.8% below the current price of $319.59. That gap is driven by LGND’s much higher P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue versus PSA, even though LGND has stronger revenue growth and a leaner balance sheet.
