The Eastern Company Financial Ratios 2026-2009 | EML

Brief overview of The Eastern Company's valuation and returns

This overview follows the five latest available observations from 2019 through 2026.

Market valuation is represented by P/E 15.83x (median 15.83x), EV/EBITDA 11.44x (median 11.44x), P/S 0.45x (median 0.48x). Current valuation broadly matches recent historical reference points; the difference from five-year medians is 0%.

The 1/P/E calculation produces a 6.3% earnings yield. It does not capture future growth or capital structure.

The latest available business-quality ratios are ROE 5.7%, ROA 3.3%, ROCE 8.6%. Efficiency ratios are restrained, with capital and assets producing modest returns.

The time from paying for inputs to receiving cash rose from 36.1 days to 60 days. Cash turnover slowed.

Valuation takeaway

The Eastern Company trades near its familiar ratio range. A new earnings or profitability trend is needed to change the view.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company The Eastern Company, 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.
