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.

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.
