# The RealReal Inc. (REAL) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Specialty Retail. Price $9.86, market value $1.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). The RealReal Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **PEG: 0.77**. A PEG of 0.77 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×.
- **EV / EBITDA: 39.8×**. Enterprise value is 39.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.0%** (5-yr avg -30.9%). Free cash flow equals 3.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of -30.9%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 74.5%**. The RealReal Inc. keeps 74.5% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: -0.8%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -6.0%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 10.1%**. 10.1% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on invested capital: 0.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 0.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -19.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces -19.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 15.4%** (3-yr 4.7%/yr, 5-yr 18.2%/yr). Revenue grew 15.4% over the last year, against 18.2% a year compounded over five years.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 43.5%**. Earnings per share rose 43.5%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. The RealReal Inc. holds more cash than debt.
- **Current ratio: 0.86** (quick 0.86). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.84**. A Z-score of 0.84 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. The RealReal Inc. does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 13.6%** (YTD -37.5%, 3-mo 11.2%). The shares are up 13.6% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -43.3%** (22.9% above the low). Trading 43% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 33**. An RSI of 33 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 2.61** (volatility 73%). Beta of 2.61 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
