# Shoe Station Group Inc. (SHOE) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Specialty Retail. Price $14.22, market value $387 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 16.2×** (5-yr avg 8.1×, 3-yr avg 9.5×). Shoe Station Group Inc. trades at 16.2× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 8.1×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 9.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.6×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 4.1×**. Enterprise value is 4.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 17.2%** (5-yr avg 6.9%). Free cash flow equals 17.2% of the market value, above its five-year average of 6.9%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 6.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 6.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 34.5%**. Shoe Station Group Inc. keeps 34.5% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 2.8%**. 2.8% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 4.6%**. 4.6% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 7.6%**. 7.6% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.3%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 2.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 2.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -5.6%** (3-yr -3.5%/yr, 5-yr 3.1%/yr). Revenue fell 5.6% over the last year, against 3.1% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -29.1%** (3-yr -21.7%/yr, 5-yr 27.7%/yr). Earnings per share fell 29.1%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

- **Current ratio: 3.76** (quick 3.76). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 3.76 times.
