Smiths’ stock price has just hit a 52-week high of £2,264 on June 17th, a staggering £709.34 above its November 7th low of £1,514.66 last year. The current price stands at £2,228. But what does this mean for investors?

The numbers are clear: a price-to-earnings ratio of 24.92 and a price-to-book ratio of 3.34 paint a picture of an overvalued company. Is Smiths’ stock price a reflection of its true worth, or is it a bubble waiting to burst?
