Key numbers explained

• Price: 10.17 GBP is the most recent quoted price per share on the London Stock Exchange.
• Trailing P/E ratio: 169.5 means the share price is 169.5 times the last twelve months' earnings per share of 0.06 GBP, a high multiple that reflects very low current earnings relative to the price.
• Forward P/E ratio: 18.1 uses expected future earnings, suggesting a much lower multiple if those estimates hold.
• Dividend yield: 0% with an ex-dividend date of Jun 27, 2024, and 0% of earnings paid out as dividends, meaning no cash dividend is currently distributed.
• Beta: 0.69 indicates the stock has historically moved less than the overall market.
• 52-week range: 9.53 – 13.77 GBP, with the current price near the lower end of that band.
• Price change over the last 52 weeks: -12.6% from one year ago to now.
• Debt-to-equity ratio: 161% shows that debt exceeds equity, which is common in capital-intensive or leveraged businesses.
• Price-to-book: 387.58 means the market values the company at a very high multiple of its book value.

What to watch

• Earnings growth and margin trends, since the trailing P/E is elevated relative to the forward P/E.
• Licensing revenue mix and brand strength, which can affect profitability in luxury consumer cycles.
• Currency movements, given Burberry's global sales and London-based reporting.
• Debt levels and capital structure, as the debt-to-equity ratio is above 100%.
• Sector rotation in Consumer Cyclical stocks, which can be sensitive to consumer confidence.
