Valuation over time

How the market has priced DBI 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.

Frequently asked questions

Is DBI growing its revenue and profit?

Over the past 5 years, Designer Brands Inc.'s revenue has grown 5.3% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.

How much debt does DBI have?

As of FY2026, Designer Brands Inc. reported $428M of total debt against $51M of cash.

What is DBI's profit margin?

In FY2026, gross margin was 43.6%, operating margin 1.7%, and net margin -0.3%.

What is DBI's P/E ratio?

Designer Brands Inc.'s P/E (TTM) is 20.01 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 DBI stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 8.8× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.

Where does this data come from?

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.
