LGI Homes Inc. trades at 19.3× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 11.2×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past.

- **Price / book: 0.6×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 10.2%** (5-yr avg -9.9%). Free cash flow equals 10.2% of the market value, above its five-year average of -9.9%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): -62.4%** (3-yr -39.0%/yr, 5-yr -24.5%/yr). Earnings per share fell 62.4%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
