## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Kura Sushi USA 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.
- **PEG: 2.37**. A PEG of 2.37 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 1.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.7×.
- **Price / book: 2.3×**. The shares trade at 2.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
