## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 26.7×** (5-yr avg 25.9×, 3-yr avg 26.8×). Flowserve Corporation trades at 26.7× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 25.9×. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 16.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.71**. A PEG of 0.71 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.

- **Price / book: 4.3×**. The shares trade at 4.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 21.6×**. Enterprise value is 21.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 4.2%** (5-yr avg 3.3%). Free cash flow equals 4.2% of the market value, above its five-year average of 3.3%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
