Flowers Foods Financial Ratios 2026-2007 | FLO

Brief overview of Flowers Foods's financial ratios

The review covers five available annual periods spanning 2021 to 2026.

The latest available valuation ratios are P/E 24.33x (median 26.27x), EV/EBITDA 5.94x (median 11.23x), P/S 0.39x (median 0.95x). On average, this basket is 59% below its own five-year medians. The market values the business at a discount to recent history.

Earnings yield calculated as 1/P/E is about 4.1%, showing current profit per unit of share price.

The latest available business-quality ratios are ROE 6.4%, ROA 2%, ROCE 13.3%. Profitability remains low. Market valuation has limited fundamental support until resource returns improve.

Price, earnings and growth produce a PEG of 6.2x. A high value reduces the cushion if growth slows.

Cash turnover speed was broadly preserved, with the cycle moving from -8.4 days to -7.5 days.

What the ratios show

Flowers Foods's valuation is lower, but weak quality metrics call for caution. Recovery in earnings and capital returns is the key catalyst.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company Flowers Foods, 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.
