Another View on SIG Group’s Valuation

The earlier narrative frames SIG Group as 13.2% undervalued on a fair value of CHF15.18. Yet on a simple P/S yardstick of 1.7x, the stock trades well above the European Packaging industry at 0.6x and its own fair ratio of 1.3x. That gap points to valuation risk rather than a clear bargain. Which signal do you put more weight on?
