# Hillman Solutions Corp. (HLMN) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Industrials / Industrial Distribution & Rental. Price $8.35, market value $1.6 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 69.6×** (5-yr avg 77.2×, 3-yr avg 77.2×). Hillman Solutions Corp. trades at 69.6× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 77.2×. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 12.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.10**. A PEG of 0.10 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.0×.
- **Price / book: 1.3×**. The shares trade at 1.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.8×**. Enterprise value is 8.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.8%** (5-yr avg 1.7%). Free cash flow equals 3.8% of the market value, above its five-year average of 1.7%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
- **Earnings yield: 1.4%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.4% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 6.9%**. 6.9% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 2.6%**. 2.6% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 3.3%**. 3.3% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.7%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.7%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 1.7%**. Each dollar of assets produces 1.7% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 5.4%** (3-yr 1.5%/yr). Revenue grew 5.4% over the last year.

- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -10.8%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -10.8% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.54**. Debt is 0.54 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 2.5×**. It would take 2.5 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Current ratio: 2.51** (quick 2.51). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 2.51 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.61**. A Z-score of 2.61 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
