Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods. Price $20.76, market value $1.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 16.2×** (5-yr avg 28.8×, 3-yr avg 27.6×). Wolverine World Wide Inc. trades at 16.2× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 28.8×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 11.2×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.10**. A PEG of 0.10 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.9×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 4.2×**. The shares trade at 4.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 11.6×**. Enterprise value is 11.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 10.3%** (5-yr avg 2.0%). Free cash flow equals 10.3% of the market value, above its five-year average of 2.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
