What counts as a normal or fair PE depends on how fast earnings are expected to grow and how risky those earnings are, with higher growth and lower risk usually justifying a higher multiple.</p> <p>DXP currently trades on a PE of about 17.2x, which is below both the Trade Distributors industry average of roughly 19.7x and the selected peer group average of about 14.2x. Simply Wall St also calculates a proprietary Fair Ratio of 25.8x for DXP, which reflects what its PE might reasonably be given its earnings growth outlook, margins, industry, size and risk profile. This Fair Ratio can be more informative than a simple peer or industry comparison because it explicitly adjusts for those company specific factors rather than assuming all businesses in the group deserve similar valuations.</p> <p>Comparing DXP’s current 17.2x PE with the 25.8x Fair Ratio suggests the market is pricing the stock below what its fundamentals might justify, pointing to potential upside.</p> <p><strong>Result: UNDERVALUED</strong></p> <figure><img height="476" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/company/0be8df73-6376-4b9f-92e8-1aa3e36a7136/chart/pe-multiple-vs-industry?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="746" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/company/0be8df73-6376-4b9f-92e8-1aa3e36a7136/chart/pe-multiple-vs-industry"/><figcaption>NasdaqGS:DXPE PE Ratio as at Dec 2025</figcaption></figure> <p>PE ratios tell one story, but what if the real opportunity lies elsewhere?

Let us introduce you to Narratives, a simple framework on Simply Wall St’s Community page where you connect your view of a company’s story to a set of numbers such as future revenue, earnings, margins and a fair value estimate. You can then compare that fair value with today’s share price to decide whether to buy, hold or sell, with the Narrative updating dynamically as new news and earnings arrive. For DXP Enterprises, for example, one investor might build a bullish Narrative around accelerating digital sales, rising margins and industry consolidation that supports a fair value near $136.50 per share. Another investor might focus on energy exposure, integration risks and margin pressure to justify a more cautious fair value closer to perhaps $90. Both perspectives can coexist and evolve over time as data changes.</p> <p>Do you think there's more to the story for DXP Enterprises?
