What if we valued $ETH using traditional stock metrics? At a P/E ratio of just 1.1x, it would be considered an extremely deep value play—the kind of bargain hunting typically reserved for distressed equities.

For context, here are some real-world stocks trading at similar valuation multiples:

• Barnes & Noble Education
• Cemex
• Clearwater Paper
• Comcast Corp
• SeaDrill
• Corebridge Financial

These are largely mature, cyclical, or troubled businesses. Yet Ethereum—powering an entire decentralized ecosystem—commands comparable valuations. The asymmetry is striking.

ETH-6,86%

1.1x PE directly benchmarks which struggling traditional stocks? That's hilarious... It shows how absurd the market's valuation of ETH is.

Nah, that's a bit outrageous... ETH valued the same as those bankrupting companies? Wake up, brother, traditional valuation methods applied to blockchain are like cutting off your foot to fit into a shoe.

NGL, ETH's PE valuation is so low, it's really outrageous... Compared to those publicly listed companies that are about to go bankrupt, the gap is just too obvious.

1.1x PE for ETH? That's completely unreasonable. How can the value of the entire ecosystem be so underestimated...

1.1x PE benchmarks those junk stocks on the brink of bankruptcy... To be honest, this data is a bit outrageous, I need to think about it carefully.

1.1x PE? Damn, isn't that saying ETH is seriously undervalued... Why isn't anyone going all in?

1.1x P/E? That's outrageous. ETH's valuation is truly ridiculously undervalued.

1.1x PE, what are you talking about? Applying traditional valuation frameworks to ETH is like forcing a square peg into a round hole... This thing is not even a stock, comparing it to Comcast is just ridiculous.

1.1x PE benchmarks are all about what, and ETH is here instead? The comparison is so ironic, haha.

1.1x PE being compared to these struggling companies is hilarious. That's why traditional valuation models simply don't fit blockchain...
