## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 28.9×** (5-yr avg 29.3×, 3-yr avg 35.5×). Winmark Corporation trades at 28.9× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 29.3×. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 26.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 6.99**. A PEG of 6.99 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 13.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 13.2×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.8%** (5-yr avg 4.1%). Free cash flow equals 3.8% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 4.1%.

- **Net margin: 48.4%**. 48.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: -77.6%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
