## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 11.4×** (5-yr avg 24.5×, 3-yr avg 18.7×). Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation trades at 11.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 24.5×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 10.8×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 0.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.8×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 7.3×**. The shares trade at 7.3× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 9.8×**. Enterprise value is 9.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 12.7%** (5-yr avg 5.7%). Free cash flow equals 12.7% of the market value, above its five-year average of 5.7%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

- **Net margin: 7.6%**. 7.6% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
