## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 27.5×** (5-yr avg 15.4×, 3-yr avg 12.4×). Spectrum Brands Holdings Inc. trades at 27.5× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 15.4×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Consumer Defensive median in the September 2026 study was 20.1×. Forward P/E is 15.8×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 0.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.7×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.1×**. The shares trade at 1.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 14.3%** (5-yr avg -0.2%). Free cash flow equals 14.3% of the market value, above its five-year average of -0.2%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
