AutoNation Financial Ratios 2025-2007 | AN

Brief overview of AutoNation's financial ratios

The comparison uses the five latest available annual observations between 2021 and 2025.

Key multiples at the end of the period are P/E 12x (median 6.38x), EV/EBITDA 4.22x (median 9.48x), P/S 0.28x (median 0.29x). The combined ratio level is close to the company's five-year norm at a -3% deviation. No clear premium or discount is visible.

At the current P/E, inverse earnings yield is 8.3%, a useful bridge between price and business earnings.

End-period return metrics are ROE 27.7%, ROA 4.5%, ROCE 53%. Profitability forms a strong profile, with capital and assets producing substantial returns.

On PEG (0.18x), valuation is restrained relative to growth, but one ratio cannot replace cash-flow and risk analysis.

The cash conversion cycle lengthened from 40.5 days to 61.7 days, or 21.3 days. More cash is tied up in operations.

Overall picture

AutoNation's market valuation is near its own historical norm, while quality ratios provide no extreme signal.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company AutoNation, allowing investors and analysts to quickly assess the company’s value and investment attractiveness based on the ratio of market indicators to the company’s financial performance. Essentially, multiples express how the market values the company relative to its earnings, revenue, equity, or other key metrics.

Advantages of Using Financial Ratios
  • Simplified Data Analysis
    Financial ratios transform large volumes of accounting data into compact and easily interpretable indicators, significantly simplifying the assessment of the company’s condition.
  • Comparability Between Companies
    Multiples standardize financial metrics, enabling objective comparison of companies of different sizes, industries, and market capitalizations.
  • Identification of Trends and Issues
    Regular analysis of ratios helps track the dynamics of financial health, identify strengths and weaknesses of the business, as well as potential risks.
  • Decision Support
    Financial multiples serve as an important tool for investors, creditors, and company management in making investment, credit, and managerial decisions.
  • Accelerated Assessment of Investment Attractiveness
    Ratios allow quick determination of key performance, liquidity, and financial stability indicators, facilitating prompt evaluation of companies’ attractiveness for investments.

Using multiples enables comparison between companies, even if they differ in size or industry, as they standardize financial data into ratios convenient for analysis. This is especially useful for evaluating companies where direct analysis of financial statements may be complex or require in-depth knowledge.
