## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 21.6×** (5-yr avg 41.7×, 3-yr avg 35.0×). Burlington Stores Inc. trades at 21.6× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 41.7×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 17.6×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.

- **Price / sales: 1.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.2×.
- **Price / book: 7.5×**. The shares trade at 7.5× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.7%** (5-yr avg 1.6%). Free cash flow equals 2.7% of the market value, above its five-year average of 1.6%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
