How should the FIVE historical PE ratio be determined?
Realizing that PE stands for Price to Earnings ratio, we need two values to compute it: stock price and earnings per share. The stock price at any given date is a known historical value, but what about the earnings number to use?
✔️Accepted answer:
There are a number of different approaches when it comes to calculating a historical PE ratio for a company like Five Below. We like to take our measurements on each of the past quarterly earnings reports. That only leaves the question of whether the earnings number at that quarterly report should be used on an annualized basis, or some other method. We approach this question using three different methods, on this FIVE Historical PE Ratio page.
What is the average historical PE for FIVE based on annualized quarterly earnings?
As we look back through earnings history, what is the resulting PE calculation if at each measurement period we use that quarter's earnings result annualized?

What is the average historical PE for FIVE based on trailing twelve month earnings?
As we look back through earnings history, what is the resulting PE calculation if at each measurement period we use the trailing twelve months combined earnings result in the calculation?

The FIVE historical PE ratio using the TTM earnings method works out to 42.0.
What is the average historical PE for FIVE based on median TTM earnings?
As we look back through earnings history, what is the resulting PE calculation if at each measurement period we use the median earnings over the trailing twelve months and annualize that median result in the calculation?

On this page we presented the
FIVE Historical PE Ratio information for Five Below' stock.
The average FIVE historical PE based on using the annualized quarterly earnings result at each measurement period (for the "E" in the PE calculation; and the closing price on earnings date as the "P") is 74.0. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average FIVE historical PE based on this TTM earnings result method is 42.0. Note: any PE calculations involving negative earnings were discarded as not meaningful.
Let's now compare this FIVE historical PE result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 5/1/2026, the most recent closing price for FIVE had been 230.52, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 17.24. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 6.66. From these numbers, we calculate the recent FIVE PE on 5/1/2026 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 13.4. Based on FIVE's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 81.9% lower than the historical average PE across our data set for Five Below. Looking at the recent FIVE PE on 5/1/2026 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 34.6. Based on FIVE's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 17.6% lower than the average PE across our Five Below data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.
Another interesting FIVE historical PE Ratio calculation we look at is to take the
median earnings per share of the last four quarters for FIVE, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for FIVE, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: 0.68, 0.81, 0.86, and 4.31. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 0.81 and 0.86 — which gives us the median of 0.83. Basically the way to think about this 0.83 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 0.83 marks the "middle ground" number where FIVE has reported a value
higher than 0.83 half the time, and has reported a value
lower than 0.83 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 3.32/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 230.52 as the numerator (as of 5/1/2026), the calculation is then 230.52 / 3.32 =
69.4 as the FIVE PE ratio as of 5/1/2026, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
