No, this is not the alcohol conglomerate, but a highly successful Canadian software company that boasts returns of 11% in the past year and 183% over the last five. For a tech company, CSU boasts a low beta of 0.81 and trades at a PE just below 81x. Compare that valuation to its five-year median average of 62.55x, but the current level remains 50% lower than its peak of 128.13x at the end of 2021.
