buy price
ASTE is Overpriced: at $42.00 it trades 140% above its fair value of $17.50. Its buy price (Payback Price) is $7.00, 83% below today's price. Business quality is limited: none of the 5 key numbers clears the 10% bar.
How we valued it
Free Cash Flow. Sales grew 3% a year over the last 3 years, below the 15% we look for in a fast grower, so we value it on its free cash flow instead of an earnings forecast.

0 of 5 clear the 10% bar. What are the Big Five?
