Five Below, Inc.
FIVEFive Below, Inc.'s three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.
The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +66.9% in a year while annual EPS moved +40.7% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.
The price is in a confirmed uptrend (4 weeks in) while the P/E sits at the 41st percentile of its own 4-year range. Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +200.0% year on year, and 167% of the last 3 years' profit arrived as cash. What settles it: whether earnings grow into a price that has already moved.
Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.
Five Below, Inc. trades at $222, in a confirmed uptrend and 4 weeks into that stage. That is +12.2% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 86% of a 52-week range of $135 to $236. On relative strength it is currently behind the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view (13 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 4 of stage 2. At $222 it trades +12.2% versus its 200-day average and sits at 86% of its 52-week range ($135–$236).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.1 years the stock moved +365% while the S&P 500 moved +263% — ahead of the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (13 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-05-08) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.
What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.
Valuation P/E is the price of $1 of annual profit: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar the company earns in a year.
Five Below, Inc. trades at 28.1× P/E, mid-range by its own standards (41st percentile). Its long-run median P/E is 31.1×, measured across 4.2 years of weekly readings. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.
Today's P/E of 28.1× is mid-range by its own standards (41st percentile), against a long-run median of 31.1× measured over 4.2 years of weekly readings. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.
🚨 Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year annual EPS moved +40.7% against a +66.9% price move — the price outran earnings, pushing the multiple UP its own range.
The price move, decomposed: over 3y, of the +3.9%/yr price move, ~+17.6%/yr came from earnings growth and ~−13.7 pp from the multiple (compressing). The split is the honest approximate (price return minus earnings growth); it makes the rally itself visible instead of hiding it behind the percentile.
Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the earnings line underneath it, not the multiple.
Stage: Turning around Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).
Five Below, Inc. reads as turning around on its fundamental arc. Turning around — profit growth swung from −10.3% at the trough to +69.2%, a 4-quarter improving streak, ROCE lifting at 14.3%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.
Why it matters: growth inflections are where re-ratings start — the curves say a turn is forming, so the question becomes whether the next quarters confirm it.

4-Factor Sector Score
70.6/100 — rank 1 of 28 in Specialty Retail · 85% evidence confidence
Five Below, Inc. scores 70.6 out of 100 against the 28 companies it is compared with in Specialty Retail, ranking 1. Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 31 + 14 + 13.8 + 11.8 = 70.6. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.
What would change it: The read weakens if profit growth turns negative or margin improvement reverses while sector-relative strength deteriorates.
Revenue Revenue is the top line: everything the company billed its customers in the period.
Five Below, Inc. reported $1.3 B of revenue in the May 26 quarter, +33.0% year on year. That is the 12th straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 4 years it has compounded at 13.7% a year. The last full year, FY26, came in at $4.8 B. The last four reported quarters add to $5.1 B.
FY26 revenue came in at $4.8 B (+22.7% on the year), capping 4 years at 13.7% compound. The latest quarter (May 26) printed $1.3 B, +33.0% year on year — the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +26.4% growth against the decade's 13.7% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Acceleration check: trailing-twelve-month revenue grew +26.3% over the last 4 quarters against +18.1%/yr over the last 8 — accelerating; TTM profit +69.2% vs +23.2%/yr — accelerating.
Operating margin Operating margin is what is left of every $100 of sales after running the business, before interest and tax. It is the cleanest read on pricing power and cost control.
Five Below, Inc.'s operating margin is 11.6% in the May 26 quarter, +6.4 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 8.2% to 13.3%. The current quarter sits inside that band.
The latest quarter's operating margin is 11.6%, +6.4 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the operating margin has ranged 8.2%–13.3%.
Why the margin moved: operating margin went +6.4 pp year on year while gross margin went +4.2 pp — the gain came mostly from the gross line: input costs and pricing.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
Five Below, Inc. earned $0.1 B of net profit in the May 26 quarter, +200.0% year on year. It is the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY26 profit was $0.4 B. The 4-year compound rate is 6.5%. That is 9.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $0.0 B.
May 26 profit was $0.1 B, +200.0% year on year — the 2nd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY26 printed $0.4 B (+44.0%), and the 4-year compound rate is 6.5%.
Why profit moved: revenue contributed +33.0% and the margin +6.4 pp — the quarter was margin-led: most of the profit growth came from keeping more of each sale.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +86.5% vs revenue +26.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra dollar of revenue drops more to the bottom line.
Cash flow — the router The P&L says what was earned; the cash-flow statement says what actually arrived. Operating cash flow (CFO) against profit is the cleanest lie detector in the accounts.
Over the last 3 fiscal years 167% of Five Below, Inc.'s reported profit arrived as operating cash — the cash follows the profit. In FY26 that was $0.6 B of operating cash against $0.4 B of profit. After $0.2 B of capital spending, $0.4 B was left as free cash.
FY26: operating cash of $0.6 B against reported profit of $0.4 B, leaving free cash of $0.4 B after $0.2 B of capital spending. Across the last 3 fiscal years the conversion rate is 167% of profit.
Cash-flow readings here are annual — that is the resolution our series carries, so this section moves once a year.
Why: conversion is measured cleanly, but the working-capital day-counts behind it sit below what we hold — the move is shown without inventing its driver.
Router verdict: the visible cash user is investment — the next section checks what the spending is buying.
Where the cash goes Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid: debtor days (customers owe), inventory days (stock waits), and the cash conversion cycle (the whole loop, in days of sales).
Five Below, Inc. does not report the debtor, inventory and payable day-counts a cash cycle is built from, so this section reads the investment side instead. Capital spending ran $1.0 B over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 7.0% of FY26 revenue a year.
Working-capital day-counts are not in our numbers for this stock, so this section reads the investment side — where the cash is being put to work.
On the investment side: capital spending of $1.0 B over the last 3 fiscal years.
The synthesis: the cash is going into capacity, not disappearing into the cycle — the question becomes whether the new capacity earns.
Return on equity Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. With the full capital-employed split not in our numbers, ROE is the cleanest long ladder we can draw here.
Five Below, Inc. earns a ROE of 16% in FY26. That is up from a trough of 14% in FY25. Return on invested capital clears the cost of that capital by +4.7 percentage points, so growth here adds value rather than only size. The wiring behind it is 7.6% net margin on 0.96× asset turns.
FY26 ROE is 16%, recovered from a FY25 trough of 14% — the full ladder below shows the fall and the climb, undoctored.
Why the return is what it is — the wiring (FY26): 7.6% net margin × 0.96× asset turns × 2.26× balance-sheet leverage ≈ 16.5% on equity. Margin does its share; leverage is a meaningful part of the equation.
The capstone test — ROIC − WACC: 13.0% − 8.3% = a +4.7 pp spread. The 8.3% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital — read the sign and the size of the spread, not the decimals. Positive but thin — value creation with little room for error.
Dividend
Five Below, Inc. pays no dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters it has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings rather than distribute them, which makes the cash-flow and reinvestment sections the place that cash shows up.
Five Below, Inc. does not currently pay a dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters the company has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings instead of distributing them.
Debt Debt-to-equity says how much of the business is funded by borrowings. Low is the safe corner; the trend matters as much as the level.
Five Below, Inc. carries total debt of $2.0 B against shareholder equity of $2.3 B as of May 26, a debt-to-equity of 0.87. On the annual view that ratio went from 1.16 in FY22 to 0.93 in FY26. Read the returns elsewhere on this page with that leverage in mind.
May 26: total debt of $2.0 B against shareholder equity of $2.3 B — a debt-to-equity of 0.87. On the annual view, debt-to-equity went from 1.16 (FY22) to 0.93 (FY26). Read the returns on this page with that leverage in mind.
Ownership There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read here, so we read the crowd through short interest — the slice of tradable shares currently sold short, positioned for a fall.
4.2% of Five Below, Inc.'s tradable float is currently sold short — some money is positioned against it. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 2.0 days to buy back. There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read for this filer, so the crowd is read through short interest instead.
The latest reading: 4.2% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 2.0 days to buy those positions back. Some money is positioned against it. This is a single point-in-time reading — we do not yet hold its history, so we show no trend chart.
Why it sits there: who is doing the shorting, and why, does not travel with the number — the level is shown without inventing its story.
Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.
Five Below, Inc.: the Z-score reads 4.23. A Z-score above roughly 3 reads as safe and below roughly 1.8 as the distress zone, so this sits well clear of distress. It is a distance-to-distress estimate from the balance sheet, not a forecast of failure.
Why it matters: a Z-score of 4.23 sits well clear of the distress zone — the balance sheet is not the risk here.
The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score reads 4.23.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

What is Five Below, Inc.'s capex?

What could break the Five Below, Inc. story?
The sharpest disagreement: the price moved +66.9% in a year while annual EPS moved +40.7% — the difference is re-rating, and re-rating has to be repaid with earnings.

Is Five Below, Inc. a stock worth studying right now?
This is not investment advice. The machine read: Five Below, Inc.'s three tracks disagree. Price, valuation and the earnings engine each tell a different story — the next quarter or two settles it.
