## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 10.4×** (5-yr avg 8.1×, 3-yr avg 9.5×). Shoe Station Group Inc. trades at 10.4× 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 7.6×, 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: 3.2×**. Enterprise value is 3.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 16.3%** (5-yr avg 6.9%). Free cash flow equals 16.3% 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.
