## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 12.8×** (5-yr avg 23.5×, 3-yr avg 21.8×). Healthcare Services Group Inc. trades at 12.8× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 23.5×: cheap by its own standards.

- **Free-cash-flow yield: 9.9%** (5-yr avg 3.7%). Free cash flow equals 9.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of 3.7%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
