Barrett Business Services Financial Ratios 2025-2008 | BBSI
Brief overview of Barrett Business Services's financial ratios
Ratios are assessed across five available annual reports in the 2021–2025 interval.
The latest available valuation ratios are P/E 14.13x (median 19.73x), EV/EBITDA 17.22x (median 22.47x), P/S 0.62x (median 0.91x). Multiples are on average 32.1% below their own medians. Shares look cheaper than their recent historical valuation.
At the current P/E, inverse earnings yield is 7.1%, a useful bridge between price and business earnings.
Capital efficiency is characterized by ROE 22.6%, ROA 7%, ROCE 25.8%. Current resource returns are convincing and help explain a higher market valuation.
PEG is 1.2x. Price relative to expected growth is in a moderate range.
A longer cycle, from 50.1 days to 68.4 days, indicates slower release of cash from operations.
What the ratios show
Barrett Business Services combines strong fundamental efficiency with valuation below its own five-year norm. The discount merits attention but should be checked against sector and financial risks.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company Barrett Business Services, 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.
