## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 23.4×** (5-yr avg 20.1×, 3-yr avg 28.2×). Smith & Wesson Brands Inc. trades at 23.4× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 20.1×. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 21.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.

- **Price / sales: 1.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.0×.
- **Price / book: 1.5×**. The shares trade at 1.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 14.2%** (5-yr avg 2.8%). Free cash flow equals 14.2% of the market value, above its five-year average of 2.8%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
