If you believe MKC can sustain its margin advantage and re-rate closer to its historical or DCF range, then holding may be reasonable; otherwise, the current price looks stretched because the P/E-based implied value of $32.07 and CPB-implied range both sit well below $48.88.
MKC trades at a material premium to CPB on every listed valuation multiple, despite only modest growth outperformance. The P/E-based implied price of $32.07 is well below the current price of $48.88, indicating a -34.4% downside on that framework.
