SEIC may be overvalued based on its high valuation metrics compared to industry averages, with a PE ratio of 16.71-18.69 and EV/EBITDA of 13.26-15. Mixed analyst sentiment and market conditions add to the uncertainty.
While some analysts have upgraded SEIC to Buy with price targets of $90-$99, others maintain Hold or Sell ratings, indicating mixed sentiment. The recent sale of SEI's Family Office Services for $120 million could impact future operations but may also streamline the business.
Given the high valuation metrics and mixed analyst sentiment, SEIC appears overvalued, but positive upgrades and strategic moves could support its price. Investors should exercise caution.
