## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 15.0×** (5-yr avg 19.6×, 3-yr avg 23.3×). Levi Strauss & Co trades at 15.0× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 19.6×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 13.7×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.08**. A PEG of 0.08 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.

- **Price / book: 3.6×**. The shares trade at 3.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 9.3×**. Enterprise value is 9.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.3%** (5-yr avg 4.2%). Free cash flow equals 7.3% of the market value, above its five-year average of 4.2%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
