Another View: P/E Ratios Tell a Different Story

While the SWS DCF model points to Trimble trading below estimated future cash flow value at US$55.97 versus US$95.38, the P/E picture is tighter. Trimble trades on 28.6x earnings, slightly above the US Software industry at 26.7x and the fair ratio estimate of 27.9x. That leaves less obvious room for rerating, so how much weight do you place on cash flow forecasts versus what the market is paying today?
