Intels secret high growth gem, MobilEye MBLY

17 oct.

Mobileye is fairly priced for 2025 expected earnings, at roughly 24 pe. The smoothed out growth rate for 5 years is around 30-40% annual for earnings. Analysts are expected something close to 2.87$ in earnings for 2029, and 3.77$ for 2030. What PE multiple should a fast growing software company trade at in the future? 20, 30 pe? maybe more? Either way MobilEye is now on my radar and if youre reading this, now yours.

Note- Intel owns a large percentage of Mobileye, approximately 88%.
