# Petco Health and Wellness Company Inc. (WOOF) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Specialty Retail. Price $2.70, market value $875 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 27.0×** (5-yr avg 51.2×, 3-yr avg 89.7×). Petco Health and Wellness Company Inc. trades at 27.0× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 51.2×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 9.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.09**. A PEG of 0.09 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.1×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.7×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.4×**. Enterprise value is 6.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 27.2%** (5-yr avg 6.5%). Free cash flow equals 27.2% of the market value, above its five-year average of 6.5%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 3.7%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.7% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 38.8%**. Petco Health and Wellness Company Inc. keeps 38.8% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 2.2%**. 2.2% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 0.2%**. 0.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 0.8%**. 0.8% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.4%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.4%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 0.6%**. Each dollar of assets produces 0.6% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -2.5%** (3-yr -0.4%/yr, 5-yr 3.9%/yr). Revenue fell 2.5% over the last year, against 3.9% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 108.1%** (3-yr -55.5%/yr). Earnings per share rose 108.1%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 40.1%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 40.1% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.28**. Debt is 1.28 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 3.7×**. It would take 3.7 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.68**. A Z-score of 1.68 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
