# Fossil Group Inc. (FOSL) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods. Price $5.15, market value $305 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Fossil Group 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: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 3.2×**. The shares trade at 3.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 70.7×**. Enterprise value is 70.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -13.5%** (5-yr avg -25.3%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 56.7%**. Fossil Group Inc. keeps 56.7% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: -0.6%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -7.7%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -75.7%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -2.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -2.1%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -10.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces -10.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -12.3%** (3-yr -15.8%/yr, 5-yr -9.0%/yr). Revenue fell 12.3% over the last year, against -9.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 25.3%**. Earnings per share rose 25.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.99**. Debt is 1.99 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 18.7×**. It would take 18.7 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.
