Kelly Services Class A Financial Ratios 2025-2008 | KELYA

Brief overview of Kelly Services Class A's financial ratios

Ratios are assessed across five available annual reports in the 2016–2023 interval.

Key multiples at the end of the period are P/E 15.99x (median 11.17x), EV/EBITDA 18.71x (median 7.84x), P/S 0.08x (median 0.12x). The current ratio basket stands about 31.4% below the five-year comparison base. Earnings and risk trends should explain the discount.

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

End-period return metrics are ROE -0.1%, ROA -0%, ROCE -4.9%. Losses and negative capital returns make ordinary P/E-like references unstable or inapplicable.

Current PEG of 4.05x points to a premium over forecast earnings momentum.

The cash conversion cycle increased 53.8 days to 104.9 days, weakening working-capital efficiency.

Overall picture

Kelly Services Class A's restrained price comes with modest current quality. Better efficiency is needed for revaluation.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company Kelly Services Class A, 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.
