Strong

Across the nine graded ratios (FY2025 figures against the latest price), GWW’s fundamentals read as strong overall.

P/E ratio Fair
35.2x

At 35x, investors are paying up; a fair amount of future growth is already in the price.

Share price divided by earnings per share: what you pay for each $1 of yearly profit. Roughly 15 to 25 is typical, above 40 is richly priced, and negative means the company is losing money.

Dividend yield Fair
0.71%

A 0.7% yield is modest: a small income on top of whatever the share price does.

The yearly dividend as a percent of the share price: the cash income each share pays out. Around 2 to 6% is healthy; above roughly 8% often signals the payout may be cut.

Profit margin Fair
9.5%

A 9.5% margin is solid, in the ordinary range for a profitable company.

The share of revenue left as profit once every cost is paid. Above 15% is strong; below 5% leaves little cushion against a bad year.

Return on equity Strong
45.7%

A 45.7% return on equity is strong; the company compounds owners' capital well.

Profit earned on each dollar of shareholder equity: how well the company compounds its owners' capital. Above 15% is strong.

Return on assets Strong
19.0%

A 19.0% return on assets is strong; the company squeezes good profit from its assets.

Profit earned on each dollar of assets: how efficiently the whole asset base is used. Above 8% is strong.

Debt-to-equity No data
—

Not enough data to compute debt-to-equity.

Total liabilities divided by shareholder equity: how heavily the company leans on borrowing. Below 1 is conservative; above 2 is highly leveraged.

Current ratio Strong
2.83

At 2.83, short-term assets comfortably cover short-term bills.

Current assets divided by current liabilities: whether short-term resources cover short-term bills. Above 1.5 is comfortable; below 1 is tight.

Revenue growth Fair
+4.5%

Revenue grew 4.5% from the prior year: steady, modest expansion.

Change in annual revenue from the prior fiscal year: whether the top line is expanding. Above 10% is strong growth; below 0 means revenue is shrinking.

Earnings growth Weak
-10.6%

Net income fell 10.6% from the prior year; profit is shrinking.

Change in annual net income from the prior fiscal year: whether profit is expanding. Above 10% is strong; below 0 means profit is falling.
