Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Defensive / Food & Staples Retailing. Price $98.63, market value $15.5 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 43.1×** (5-yr avg 39.9×, 3-yr avg 37.3×). Performance Food Group Company trades at 43.1× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 39.9×. The Consumer Defensive median in the September 2026 study was 20.1×. Forward P/E is 14.8×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 2.92**. A PEG of 2.92 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 0.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.2×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 3.1×**. The shares trade at 3.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 12.0×**. Enterprise value is 12.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 6.6%** (5-yr avg 5.1%). Free cash flow equals 6.6% of the market value, above its five-year average of 5.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 2.3%**. The inverse of the P/E: 2.3% of the price is earned each year.

- **Net margin: 0.5%**. 0.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 7.3%**. 7.3% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
