## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 9.9×** (5-yr avg 8.2×, 3-yr avg 10.3×). Popular Inc. trades at 9.9× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 8.2×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×. Forward P/E is 9.0×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.21**. A PEG of 0.21 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 13.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 13.0×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 1.6×**. The shares trade at 1.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 8.2%** (5-yr avg 12.0%). Free cash flow equals 8.2% of the market value, below its five-year average of 12.0%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.
