Jack in the Box Financial Ratios 2025-2007 | JACK

Brief overview of Jack in the Box 's financial ratios

Current figures are compared with the company's own five-year history for 2019–2023.

The latest available valuation ratios are P/E 10.88x (median 12.83x), EV/EBITDA 5.41x (median 4.52x), P/S 0.18x (median 0.84x). The combined multiple level is about 74.9% below the company's historical norm, suggesting more cautious expectations.

At the current P/E, inverse earnings yield is 9.2%, a useful bridge between price and business earnings.

End-period return metrics are ROE 8.6%, ROA -3.1%, ROCE -0.8%. Returns below zero mean resources are not producing positive profit. Recovery in operating results is the main reference point.

PEG of 0.18x shows valuation is not outpacing embedded growth. The conclusion depends on earnings durability.

The cash conversion cycle is 21.7 days versus 24.4 days initially. Turnover changed little.

What the ratios show

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