Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods. Price $265.33, market value $16.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 23.9×** (5-yr avg 41.7×, 3-yr avg 35.0×). Burlington Stores Inc. trades at 23.9× 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 19.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.89**. A PEG of 0.89 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.4×.
- **Price / book: 8.3×**. The shares trade at 8.3× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.5%** (5-yr avg 1.6%). Free cash flow equals 2.5% of the market value, above its five-year average of 1.6%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
- **Earnings yield: 4.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 5.3%**. 5.3% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 33.8%**. 33.8% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on assets: 7.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces 7.2% of profit.

## Growth

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 21.9%** (3-yr 39.7%/yr). Earnings per share rose 21.9%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
