This page asks whether Kadant Inc (KAI) looks expensive on cached numbers — not a short thesis.
Latest reported KAI revenue for 2024-12-28 was $1.05B. Net income was $112.6M. Revenue was up 10.0% from 2023-12-30 to 2024-12-28. KAI currently screens at market cap $3.69B and trailing P/E 35.6.
KAI currently screens at market cap $3.69B and trailing P/E 35.6. A high multiple can be growth prepaid or a bubble. The filing has to explain the gap.
