<div id="readability-page-1"><div><p>Radware (RDWR) shares have been quietly grinding higher recently, leaving investors wondering what is driving the move and whether the current price still offers a reasonable entry point.</p> <p>See our latest analysis for Radware.</p> <p>That steady climb to a share price of $23.87 sits against a mixed backdrop, with a 30 day share price return of 6.37 percent but a 90 day decline of 13.01 percent, while the 3 year total shareholder return of 23.10 percent suggests long term momentum is still quietly building.</p> <p>If Radware has you rethinking your tech exposure, this could be a handy moment to explore high growth tech and AI stocks for other potential opportunities riding similar structural trends.</p> <p>With revenues still growing, a modest profit base, and the share price sitting well below analyst targets, is Radware an underappreciated cybersecurity compounder, or is the market already baking in the next leg of its growth story?</p> <h2>Price-to-Earnings of 62.2x: Is it justified?</h2> <p>Radware's last close at $23.87 implies a rich price-to-earnings multiple of 62.2x, placing the stock firmly in expensive territory versus peers.</p> <p>The price-to-earnings ratio compares what investors are paying today with the company’s current earnings. It is a useful lens for a newly profitable software name where bottom line momentum and scalability matter. At over 60 times earnings, the market is effectively front loading expectations for sustained profit expansion rather than paying for what Radware currently earns.</p> <p>That optimism stands in contrast to Radware's earnings track record, with profits having declined by around 20 percent annually over the past five years and only recently swinging back into the black. Against that backdrop, a 62.2x multiple signals that investors are willing to overlook patchy historic profitability and instead price in a cleaner, more durable earnings profile ahead.</p> <p>The premium looks even starker in a sector context, with Radware valued at 62.2x earnings compared to 24.8x for its direct peers and 31.5x for the broader US software industry. This level suggests the market is assigning the company a leadership style valuation, not a turnaround discount.</p> <p>See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.</p> <p><strong>Result: Price-to-Earnings of 62.2x (OVERVALUED)</strong></p> <p>However, elevated expectations leave little room for error. Any slowdown in revenue growth or margin expansion is likely to pressure this premium valuation.</p> <p>Find out about the key risks to this Radware narrative.</p> <h2>Another View Using Our DCF Model</h2> <p>Our DCF model paints a cooler picture, with an estimated fair value of about $17.10 per share, meaning Radware looks overvalued at current levels. If cash flows matter more than near term momentum, today’s price could already be borrowing from tomorrow’s returns.</p> <p>Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.</p> <figure><img height="476" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://images.simplywall.st/company/e58cb083-3550-492b-9439-ce19f7278551/chart/dcf?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/e58cb083-3550-492b-9439-ce19f7278551/chart/dcf"/><figcaption>RDWR Discounted Cash Flow as at Dec 2025</figcaption></figure><p>Simply Wall St performs a discounted cash flow (DCF) on every stock in the world every day (check out Radware for example).
