Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure. Price $59.89, market value $1.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 31.7×** (5-yr avg 67.3×, 3-yr avg 37.1×). BJ's Restaurants Inc. trades at 31.7× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 67.3×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 21.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.11**. A PEG of 0.11 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.9×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 3.2×**. The shares trade at 3.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 10.9×**. Enterprise value is 10.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.6%** (5-yr avg 1.3%). Free cash flow equals 3.6% of the market value, above its five-year average of 1.3%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
- **Earnings yield: 3.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 2.7%**. 2.7% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 3.5%**. 3.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 208.6%** (3-yr 133.3%/yr). Earnings per share rose 208.6%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health

- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.5×**. It would take 0.5 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
