As of the latest reporting period, the enterprise holds a market capitalization of $5.63B and generates an annualized trailing twelve-month revenue of $1.24B. With a workforce comprising 4393 employees, these valuation metrics and revenue figures indicate a substantial market position that allows the firm to leverage economies of scale while maintaining significant operational reach within the fitness market.
Financiële gezondheid
The company reported a trailing twelve-month revenue of $1.24B with a corresponding net income of $219.10M and an EBITDA of $549.30M, highlighting a significant gap between top-line growth and bottom-line profit that reveals a robust cost structure involving substantial operating expenses and taxes. This structure is supported by a free cash flow of $183.96M, which provides the firm with essential financial flexibility to manage capital expenditures and potential strategic acquisitions without relying heavily on external financing. Profitability analysis shows a gross margin of 59.5%, indicating high efficiency in production and service delivery, while an operating margin of 30.0% demonstrates effective control over core business expenses. The final profit margin stands at 17.7%, reflecting the impact of interest and other non-operating costs on the final earnings available to shareholders. Regarding liquidity and leverage, the company holds $452.41M in cash against total debt of $2.95B, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio listed as N/A, suggesting a balance sheet that relies heavily on equity or other capital structures rather than traditional leverage. Short-term liquidity is further secured by a current ratio of 2.11, which indicates the ability to cover short-term obligations more than twice over with existing current assets. Return on assets stands at 8.0%, providing a clear measure of how effectively management utilizes the asset base to generate earnings, while return on equity remains N/A, preventing a direct comparison of shareholder efficiency relative to total equity.
Waarderingsbeoordeling
Valuation multiples suggest the market prices Planet Fitness at a trailing P/E ratio of 26.87 and a forward P/E of 17.34, a significant divergence that implies investors expect earnings growth to accelerate substantially in the coming years to justify the lower forward multiple. The price-to-book ratio is recorded at -11.73, a negative figure that typically indicates intangible-heavy assets or accumulated losses affecting the book value, complicating the traditional assessment of market premium over tangible book value. Alternative valuation perspectives include a price-to-sales ratio of 4.55 and an EV/EBITDA of 14.75, which collectively suggest the market values the company based on its sales generation and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization rather than strictly on historical book value. In terms of trading range, the stock has reached a 52-week high of $114.47 and a 52-week low of $70.32, with the current price sitting in a position that requires checking real-time quotes to determine the exact percentage deviation from this range. Risk assessment is supported by a beta of 1.31, indicating that the stock price is historically more volatile than the broader market, moving approximately 31% more than the market index during periods of fluctuation.
Growth & Income
Growth metrics for the period show a revenue growth year-over-year of 10.7% and an earnings growth year-over-year of 32.5%, demonstrating that earnings are expanding at a rate significantly faster than revenue, which often implies improving operational efficiency or a favorable pricing environment. The company currently does not pay dividends, evidenced by a dividend yield of N/A and a payout ratio of 0.0%, meaning all net income is retained to fund business expansion, debt reduction, or share buybacks rather than being distributed to shareholders. This reinvestment strategy aligns with the high growth trajectory observed in the earnings figures, prioritizing capital allocation for internal development over immediate income generation for investors. Overall, the financial profile depicts a high-growth, non-dividend payer that leverages its strong cash generation and rapid earnings expansion to fuel future franchise growth and operational scalability.
