## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 38.3×** (5-yr avg 102.3×, 3-yr avg 102.3×). Yext Inc. trades at 38.3× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 102.3×: cheap by its own standards. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 8.6×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.06**. A PEG of 0.06 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.5×.
- **Price / book: 5.0×**. The shares trade at 5.0× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 8.2%** (5-yr avg 3.9%). Free cash flow equals 8.2% of the market value, above its five-year average of 3.9%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

- **Net margin: 8.5%**. 8.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
