If you believe MP can materially improve margins and convert revenue growth into positive operating earnings, then a hold-to-selective-buy stance may be justified because the current price is already near the top of its historical range and the stock is expensive on sales and EV/revenue despite weak profitability.
MP is priced at 42.3x sales and 41.6x EV/revenue despite negative earnings and EBITDA, while ALTR’s profitability makes direct valuation multiple comparison less clean because no P/E or sales multiple is provided. MP is currently near the upper end of its historical band at $53.33 versus a $48.00 to $58.66 range, suggesting the stock is not obviously cheap on a relative basis.
