Elvie:
It's a good one to keep an eye on, but a bit above my pay scale for now.

Kim:
Personally, I am on the sidelines with this one for now.

Sylvia:
Although this may be justified if Ametek is able to sustain its growth, it is safe to say that the margin of safety is rather slim if existent at all.

Rosetta:
As of writing, the market is assigning the company a valuation of about $13.7 billion.

Lajuana:
Assuming all of this, I would estimate that about $9.5 billion would be a fair price to pay for the company - i.e., about a 6% initial earnings yield.

Tracie:
So far (as evidenced by the company's ROE) the management at Ametek seems to have been reasonably disciplined about not overpaying.

Kristian:
This depends a lot on the acquisition environment, and in particular if current (in my view excessive) acquisition premiums come down to sensible levels.

Elanor:
Regardless, the point I wish to make is that, based on historic data, Ametek can be conservatively counted upon to compound value at about 15% per annum.

Edris:
ROA and ROE are computed by dividing economic earnings by total assets and equity, respectively.

Queenie:
The company's sales do not appear to be significantly dependent on any one product or any one customer.
