Another angle on valuation: pricing the momentum

That $110.50 fair value from the narrative sits alongside a much less generous read from simple P/E math. At $94.04, Toro trades on 27.5x earnings compared with 26.9x for the US Machinery industry, 20.9x for peers, and a fair ratio of 24.5x. This points to limited margin for error if growth expectations slip.
