## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 22.6×** (5-yr avg 31.4×, 3-yr avg 27.8×). Five Below Inc. trades at 22.6× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 31.4×: cheap by its own standards.

- **Free-cash-flow yield: 4.3%** (5-yr avg 1.7%). Free cash flow equals 4.3% of the market value, above its five-year average of 1.7%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
