# V.F. Corporation (VFC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Apparel & Luxury Goods. Price $20.04, market value $7.9 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 21.8×** (5-yr avg 35.6×, 3-yr avg 25.5×). V.F. Corporation trades at 21.8× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 35.6×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 14.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.06**. A PEG of 0.06 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.8×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 3.9×**. The shares trade at 3.9× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 11.8×**. Enterprise value is 11.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Earnings yield: 4.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.6% of the price is earned each year.
