## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 32.4×** (5-yr avg 278.1×, 3-yr avg 31.5×). Grindr Inc. trades at 32.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 278.1×: cheap by its own standards. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 19.8×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.13**. A PEG of 0.13 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 5.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 5.2×.
- **EV / EBITDA: 19.0×**. Enterprise value is 19.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 5.8%** (5-yr avg 3.9%). Free cash flow equals 5.8% of the market value, above its five-year average of 3.9%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
