# Yesway Inc. (YSWY) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Defensive / Food & Staples Retailing. Price $24.79, market value $773 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Yesway Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 2.3×**. The shares trade at 2.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 10.9×**. Enterprise value is 10.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 21.7%**. Yesway Inc. keeps 21.7% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 3.5%**. 3.5% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 0.4%**. 0.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 3.4%**. 3.4% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 6.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 6.3%.
- **Return on assets: 0.6%**. Each dollar of assets produces 0.6% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 5.8%**. Revenue grew 5.8% over the last year.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -51.4%**. Earnings per share fell 51.4%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 2.93**. Debt is 2.93 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 6.1×**. It would take 6.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Interest coverage: 1.6×**. Operating profit covers interest 1.6×, thin but manageable.
- **Current ratio: 1.05** (quick 0.42). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.05 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.13**. A Z-score of 2.13 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Yesway Inc. does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **From 52-week high: -14.8%** (31.0% above the low). Trading 15% below its 52-week high.
- **RSI (14-day): 59**. An RSI of 59 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): -0.43** (volatility 60%). Beta of -0.43 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
