## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 15.6×** (5-yr avg 1629.3×, 3-yr avg 1361.7×). Watches of Switzerland Group plc trades at 15.6× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 1629.3×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 11.6×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.13**. A PEG of 0.13 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.4×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 2.5×**. The shares trade at 2.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 4.3×**. Enterprise value is 4.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 18.0%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 18.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
