Citi Trends Financial Ratios 2026-2009 | CTRN
Brief overview of Citi Trends's multiples and efficiency
The comparison uses the five latest available annual observations between 2020 and 2026.
Key multiples at the end of the period are P/E 73.21x (median 13.62x), EV/EBITDA 29.98x (median 5.52x), P/S 0.46x (median 0.21x). The current ratio basket stands about 131.4% above the five-year base, increasing sensitivity to weak reports.

Current measures of operating quality are ROE 4.5%, ROA 1.1%, ROCE 3.3%. Low capital returns limit the ability to compound value internally.
The cash return period is stable at 13.7 days initially and 12.2 days at the end.
Conclusion
Citi Trends's multiples are demanding relative to current business quality. Material improvement is needed to justify them.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company Citi Trends, 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.
