If you believe STX can sustain its superior growth and margin profile while the market rerates the multiple materially lower toward NOC or DCF levels, then avoid chasing the current price or consider only selective exposure, because the current valuation already embeds a rich premium despite strong quality metrics.
The current price of $812.76 is far above the P/E-implied value of $273.21, implying 66.4% downside. While STX’s fundamentals are much stronger than NOC’s on a margin and growth basis, the valuation disconnect is still extreme versus both NOC-implied range and the DCF range.
