DLH Holdings Corp. Financial Ratios 2025-2009 | DLHC
Brief overview of DLH Holdings Corp.'s market valuation
Current figures are compared with the company's own five-year history for 2020–2024.
The current valuation set is P/E 108.9x (median 67.71x), EV/EBITDA 38.5x (median 32.72x), P/S 0.93x (median 1.34x). The combined multiple level is about 30.3% below the company's historical norm, suggesting more cautious expectations.
The inverse P/E implies an earnings yield of 0.9%. This is not a dividend yield, but current earnings relative to market price.
Capital efficiency is characterized by ROE -0.8%, ROA -0.3%, ROCE 0.9%. Current return ratios are negative, materially weakening the fundamental profile.
On PEG (8.48x), valuation is stretched relative to growth and requires strong execution.
The cash conversion cycle increased 79.3 days to 128.7 days, weakening working-capital efficiency.
Valuation takeaway
DLH Holdings Corp.'s discount may reflect genuine profitability issues rather than market inefficiency alone.
