Another take on valuation

That $4.00 fair value hinges on long range earnings assumptions, but the current P/S of 5.2x is higher than both the US Software industry at 3.7x and an estimated fair ratio of 5x. That gap points to less room for error in the story investors are paying for, so how comfortable are you with that premium?
