What is Qube Holdings worth?

According to my relative valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued. In this instance, I’ve used the price-to-equity (PE) ratio given that there is not enough information to reliably forecast the stock’s cash flows. I find that Qube Holdings’s ratio of 49.31x is above its peer average of 32.19x, which suggests the stock is overvalued compared to the Infrastructure industry. If you like the stock, you may want to keep an eye out for a potential price decline in the future. Since Qube Holdings’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.
