# Bluelinx Holdings Inc. (BXC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Industrials / Building Products. Price $81.81, market value $643 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Bluelinx Holdings Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **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: 1.0×**. The shares trade at 1.0× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 7.0×**. Enterprise value is 7.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 9.0%** (5-yr avg 21.5%). Free cash flow equals 9.0% of the market value, below its five-year average of 21.5%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 15.8%**. Bluelinx Holdings Inc. keeps 15.8% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 1.2%**. 1.2% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 0.0%**. 0.0% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 0.0%**. 0.0% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -0.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces -0.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 0.0%** (3-yr -12.8%/yr, 5-yr -0.9%/yr). Revenue grew 0.0% over the last year, against -0.9% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -99.7%** (3-yr -91.4%/yr, 5-yr -70.2%/yr). Earnings per share fell 99.7%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -55.2%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -55.2% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.48**. Debt is 0.48 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. Bluelinx Holdings Inc. holds more cash than debt.
