# Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (BWMN) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Industrials / Professional Services. Price $42.43, market value $735 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 101.0×** (5-yr avg 239.8×, 3-yr avg 96.0×). Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. trades at 101.0× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 239.8×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 17.1×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.05**. A PEG of 0.05 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: 2.9×**. The shares trade at 2.9× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 21.2×**. Enterprise value is 21.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 1.7%** (5-yr avg 3.9%). Free cash flow equals 1.7% of the market value, below its five-year average of 3.9%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
- **Earnings yield: 1.0%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.0% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 3.4%**. 3.4% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 2.6%**. 2.6% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 4.9%**. 4.9% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.5%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.5%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 1.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces 1.3% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 14.9%** (3-yr 23.3%/yr, 5-yr 32.1%/yr). Revenue grew 14.9% over the last year, against 32.1% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 329.4%** (3-yr 25.4%/yr, 5-yr 33.8%/yr). Earnings per share rose 329.4%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 59.3%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 59.3% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.22**. Debt is 0.22 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 1.3×**. It would take 1.3 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.97**. A Z-score of 2.97 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends

- **From 52-week high: -7.4%** (69.2% above the low). Trading 7% 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): 82**. An RSI of 82 is in overbought territory; short-term pullbacks are common from here.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.59** (volatility 71%). Beta of 1.59 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
