# Lands' End Inc. (LE) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Specialty Retail. Price $10.94, market value $323 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 0.9×** (5-yr avg 59.7×, 3-yr avg 80.5×). Lands' End Inc. trades at 0.9× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 59.7×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 12.9×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **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: 0.7×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 16.0×**. Enterprise value is 16.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -22.7%** (5-yr avg 4.9%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 105.4%**. The inverse of the P/E: 105.4% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 49.9%**. Lands' End Inc. keeps 49.9% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 0.5%**. 0.5% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 0.4%**. 0.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 2.3%**. 2.3% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 1.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 1.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 46.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces 46.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -2.0%** (3-yr -5.0%/yr, 5-yr -1.3%/yr). Revenue fell 2.0% over the last year, against -1.3% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -10.0%** (5-yr -11.4%/yr). Earnings per share fell 10.0%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.93**. Debt is 0.93 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 6.3×**. It would take 6.3 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.81**. A Z-score of 2.81 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
