If you believe LHX can keep growing faster than CAT while closing some of the profitability gap, then the current price looks attractive versus CAT valuation multiples because LHX is already cheaper on P/E, P/S, and EV-based metrics.
LHX trades at a meaningful discount to CAT across P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue, while the model still implies 34.2% upside to $388.62. That gap is partly explained by LHX's lower margins and ROIC, but the current market price also sits below CAT-implied range.
