## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 13.6×** (5-yr avg 15.4×, 3-yr avg 13.1×). Andrew Peller Limited trades at 13.6× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 15.4×. The Consumer Defensive median in the September 2026 study was 20.1×. Forward P/E is 15.4×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.10**. A PEG of 0.10 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.

- **Price / book: 1.3×**. The shares trade at 1.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.1×**. Enterprise value is 8.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 16.5%** (5-yr avg 11.7%). Free cash flow equals 16.5% of the market value, above its five-year average of 11.7%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
