Mama's Creations Inc. trades at 89.2× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 65.1×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past.

- **Price / sales: 3.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.4×.
- **Price / book: 4.3×**. The shares trade at 4.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.4%** (5-yr avg 0.2%). Free cash flow equals 2.4% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.2%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
