Currently, the Quick Ratio is 1.11 which shows that technically this company has the ability to cover short-term cash needs. The company's liquidity has increased from the same period last year.

Valuation


HOLD. This stock’s P/E ratio is negative, making its value useless in the assessment of premium or discount valuation, only displaying that the company has negative earnings per share. To use another comparison, its price-to-book ratio of 7.89 indicates a significant premium versus the S&P 500 average of 4.31 and a significant discount versus the subsector average of 20.26. The price-to-sales ratio is similar to the S&P 500 average, but it is significantly below the subsector average, indicating a discount. After reviewing these and other key valuation criteria, RUTHS HOSPITALITY GROUP INC proves to trade at a discount to investment alternatives.

RUTH NM Peers 375.38   RUTH 42.23 Peers 185.35

Neutral. The absence of a valid P/E ratio happens when a stock can not be valued on the basis of a negative stream of earnings.

RUTH's P/E is negative making this valuation measure meaningless.

 

Discount. The P/CF ratio, a stock’s price divided by the company's cash flow from operations, is useful for comparing companies with different capital requirements or financing structures.

RUTH is trading at a significant discount to its peers.

Discount. A lower price-to-projected earnings ratio than its peers can signify a less expensive stock or lower future growth expectations.

RUTH is trading at a discount to its peers.

 

Neutral. The PEG ratio is the stock’s P/E divided by the consensus estimate of long-term earnings growth. Faster growth can justify higher price multiples.

Discount. A lower price-to-book ratio makes a stock more attractive to investors seeking stocks with lower market values per dollar of equity on the balance sheet.

RUTH is trading at a significant discount to its peers.

 

Higher. Elevated earnings growth rates can lead to capital appreciation and justify higher price-to-earnings ratios.

RUTH is expected to have an earnings growth rate that significantly exceeds its peers.

RUTH 3.05 Peers 10.29   RUTH -40.66 Peers -32.92

Discount. In the absence of P/E and P/B multiples, the price-to-sales ratio can display the value investors are placing on each dollar of sales.

RUTH is trading at a significant discount to its subsector on this measurement.

 

Lower. A sales growth rate that trails the subsector implies that a company is losing market share.

RUTH significantly trails its peers on the basis of sales growth.
