The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 13.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 3.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.8×.
- **Price / book: 11.2×**. The shares trade at 11.2× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 16.0×**. Enterprise value is 16.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 6.1%** (5-yr avg 5.0%). Free cash flow equals 6.1% of the market value, above its five-year average of 5.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 3.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Net margin: 13.5%**. 13.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 41.2%**. 41.2% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 11.4%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 11.4%.
- **Return on assets: 5.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 5.0% of profit.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): -30.7%** (3-yr -13.9%/yr). Earnings per share fell 30.7%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 5.47**. Debt is 5.47 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 5.1×**. It would take 5.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Current ratio: 0.86** (quick 0.86). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
