# V.F. Corporation (VFC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods. Price $13.45, market value $5.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 19.5×** (5-yr avg 35.6×, 3-yr avg 25.5×). V.F. Corporation trades at 19.5× 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 10.0×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.04**. A PEG of 0.04 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.6×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.4×**. The shares trade at 1.4× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 9.3×**. Enterprise value is 9.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Earnings yield: 5.1%**. The inverse of the P/E: 5.1% of the price is earned each year.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 233.3%** (3-yr 27.3%/yr, 5-yr -9.3%/yr). Earnings per share rose 233.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
