The main question: the share price moved −2.6% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −41.3%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the Portillo's share price today? Portillo's Inc.'s share price was $5.21 at the close on 3 November 2026. That is 8.1% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $4 and $6, and at that close it sat 57% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 2 weeks in a row. Over the last 1 year the share price moved −55% while the S&P 500 moved +21%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Portillo's pay? Portillo's Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Portillo's on? Portillo's is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Portillo's profitable? Portillo's Inc. earned $6.9 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −20.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $19.3 M. That is 3.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $8.7 M. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $19.3 M (−34.5% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +5.6% on a year earlier and the margin moved −0.7 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −65.3% and revenue +2.9%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does Portillo's make, and is it growing? Portillo's Inc. reported $199 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +5.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 8.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $732 M. The last four reported quarters add to $749 M. FY25 revenue was $732 M, +3.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +2.9% on average, against 8.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +2.9%, against +3.2% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −54.5%, against −22.6% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Portillo's keep? Portillo's Inc.'s operating margin was 8.4% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.7 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 5.5% and 8.2%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.7 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.9 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Portillo's' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 358% of Portillo's Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $71.9 M of operating cash against $19.3 M of profit. After $90.4 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$18.5 M: it spent more than its operations brought in. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Portillo's' cash go? Portillo's Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $267 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 12.1% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $267 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Portillo's' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Portillo's Inc.'s P/E is 28.4×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 93% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 20.6×, over 1 year of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −41.3% while the price moved −2.6%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Portillo's business getting better or worse? Portillo's Inc.'s business is getting worse. Profit and EPS growth are shrinking: profit growth is −54.5% in the latest quarter, against +131.7% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE steady at 3.2%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does Portillo's earn on its capital? Portillo's Inc. earned a ROE of 4% in FY25. That is up from a low of −13% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 2.5 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 2.6% net margin and 0.46× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 2.6% net margin × 0.46× asset turnover × 3.23× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 3.9% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 3.9% − 6.4% = −2.5 percentage points. The 6.4% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Portillo's have too much debt? Portillo's Inc. has total debt of $691 M against shareholder equity of $510 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.36× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.75 in FY21 to 1.35 in FY25. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Portillo's shareholding pattern? 14.3% of Portillo's Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 5.0 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Portillo's from balance-sheet trouble? For Portillo's Inc., the Z-score is 0.74. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 0.74 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Portillo's rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: Portillo's Inc. is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Restaurants. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members.
