Mueller Industries Financial Ratios 2025-2007 | MLI

Brief overview of Mueller Industries's multiples and efficiency

Current figures are compared with the company's own five-year history for 2021–2025.

The valuation comparison uses P/E 17.02x (median 12.59x), EV/EBITDA 4.62x (median 8.62x), P/S 3.12x (median 2.08x). Multiples are on average 25.2% above their own medians. A substantial share of positive expectations may already be priced in.

The 1/P/E calculation produces a 5.9% earnings yield. It does not capture future growth or capital structure.

End-period return metrics are ROE 23.8%, ROA 20.5%, ROCE 29.9%. Profitability forms a strong profile, with capital and assets producing substantial returns.

Price, earnings and growth produce a PEG of 1.23x, a neutral level if forecasts are realistic.

The time from paying for inputs to receiving cash rose from 66 days to 78.5 days. Cash turnover slowed.

Valuation takeaway

Mueller Industries's profitability supports higher multiples, although much of the quality is already reflected in price.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company Mueller Industries, 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.
