How the market has priced BNED against its own fundamentals since 2023-03 — each month-end's share price set against the most recent annual filing, so the multiple moves as price runs ahead of (or behind) earnings. Split-adjusted.
Over the past 5 years, Barnes & Noble Education, Inc.'s revenue has grown 4.6% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.
As of FY2026, Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. reported $71M of total debt against $8M of cash.
In FY2026, gross margin was 23.4%, operating margin 2.3%, and net margin 1.1%.
Barnes & Noble Education, Inc.'s P/E (TTM) is 19.82 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the BNED stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 26.1× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.
All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.
