## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 41.1×** (5-yr avg 62.1×, 3-yr avg 53.7×). Construction Partners Inc. trades at 41.1× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 62.1×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 26.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.67**. A PEG of 0.67 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.7×.
- **Price / book: 6.0×**. The shares trade at 6.0× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.0%** (5-yr avg 0.9%). Free cash flow equals 3.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.9%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
