## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 36.4×** (5-yr avg 22.6×, 3-yr avg 25.2×). Plexus Corp. trades at 36.4× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 22.6×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 24.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.44**. A PEG of 0.44 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.6×.
- **Price / book: 4.3×**. The shares trade at 4.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 20.9×**. Enterprise value is 20.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 0.9%** (5-yr avg 2.7%). Free cash flow equals 0.9% of the market value, below its five-year average of 2.7%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
