# Bloomin' Brands Inc. (BLMN) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure. Price $9.79, market value $838 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 30.6×** (5-yr avg 26.1×, 3-yr avg 38.9×). Bloomin' Brands Inc. trades at 30.6× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 26.1×. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 9.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.09**. A PEG of 0.09 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.2×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.9×**. The shares trade at 1.9× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.8×**. Enterprise value is 6.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 18.5%** (5-yr avg 10.7%). Free cash flow equals 18.5% of the market value, above its five-year average of 10.7%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 3.3%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.3% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 1.2%**. 1.2% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 0.2%**. 0.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 2.5%**. 2.5% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 3.5%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 3.5%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 0.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces 0.9% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 0.1%** (3-yr -0.4%/yr, 5-yr 4.5%/yr). Revenue grew 0.1% over the last year, against 4.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 106.7%** (3-yr -54.0%/yr). Earnings per share rose 106.7%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -21.2%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -21.2% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 2.36**. Debt is 2.36 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 3.2×**. It would take 3.2 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.61**. A Z-score of 1.61 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 5.63%** ($0.15 per share, trailing). Bloomin' Brands Inc. yields 5.63%, an income-level yield.
- **Payout ratio: 465%** (8% of free cash flow). The dividend exceeds earnings (465% payout), though free cash flow still covers it.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 17.6%/yr** (1-yr -53.1%). The dividend has compounded at 17.6% a year over five years, doubling roughly every 4 years at that pace.

## Analyst view

- **From 52-week high: -22.5%** (88.6% above the low). Trading 22% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 46**. An RSI of 46 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.27** (volatility 77%). Beta of 1.27 against the S&P 500: the shares move roughly with the market.
