Another View: Karman Holdings looks expensive on P/S

While the leading Karman Holdings narrative leans on a fair value of $105.60, the current P/S ratio of 11.7x tells a tougher story. That sits well above the US Aerospace & Defense average of 5.1x and even the 8.8x fair ratio, which raises the question of whether investors are still paying up for growth.
