How does the valuation of OHC (PE, EV/EBITDA) compare to its competitors after this earnings release?

Short answer:

The press‑release you provided does not include any of the valuation metrics (price‑to‑earnings (P/E) ratio, enterprise‑value‑to‑EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) multiples) for Outdoor Holding Company (OHC) — nor does it give comparable numbers for its peers. Consequently, a direct “apples‑to‑apples” comparison with competitors cannot be performed solely from the information in the release.

What the release does tell us

Item Detail from the release
Company Outdoor Holding Company (Nasdaq: POWW, POWWP)
Business Owner of GunBroker.com (the largest online marketplace for firearms, hunting and related products)
Reporting period 1st fiscal quarter ended June 30 2025 (Fiscal 2026)
Publication date August 8 2025
Source GlobeNewswire (earnings release)
Key financial numbers Not included in the excerpt you provided (no revenue, EBITDA, net income, cash flow, or market‑cap data)
Valuation multiples Not included (no P/E, EV/EBITDA, or comparable peer data)

Because none of the required quantitative inputs (e.g., net income, EBITDA, market capitalization, net debt, share price) appear in the summary, the multiples cannot be calculated from this document alone.

How you would normally calculate and compare the multiples

  1. Gather the required data

    • Share price (closing price on the day of the earnings release)
    • Shares outstanding → market‑capitalization = share price × shares outstanding
    • Net income (or EPS) → for the P/E ratio: P/E = Share price / EPS (or market‑cap / net income).
    • EBITDA for the same period (or annualized) → for EV/EBITDA:
      EV = Market‑cap + Net Debt - Cash (or market‑cap + total debt – cash & equivalents)
      EV/EBITDA = EV Ă· EBITDA.

  2. Identify peer group

    • Direct competitors (online firearms marketplaces & related e‑commerce platforms):
      • Kroger’s (if any) – not directly comparable.
      • Armed Forces Marketplace (private, so no public multiples).
      • Shooting Sports Retailers (e.g., Bass Pro Shops/ Cabela’s – private).
      • General e‑commerce peers (e.g., eBay (EBAY) – offers “firearms” categories, Amazon (AMZN) for marketplace comparisons).
    • Publicly listed “peer” companies often used in analyst reports: Vulcan Materials (VMC) (as a proxy for “heavy‑industry” exposure), Coupang (CPNG), Etsy (ETSY), or other niche marketplace operators (e.g., MercadoLibre (MELI)) for broad‑scale comparability.

  3. Compute and compare

    • P/E: Compare OHC’s P/E to the median/mean P/E of the selected peer group.
    • EV/EBITDA: Same – compute EV/EBITDA for each peer, then see if OHC is above (premium) or below (discount) the peer median.

  4. Interpretation

    • Higher P/E or EV/EBITDA than peers → market expects higher growth or lower risk, or the market may be pricing in a premium for market‑share leadership (GunBroker is the largest platform).
    • Lower multiples → could indicate perceived risk (e.g., regulatory, legal, or market‑size concerns) or that the stock is undervalued relative to peers.

How to obtain the missing numbers

Source What you can get Typical retrieval method
SEC filings (Form 10‑Q or 10‑K) Quarterly net income, EBITDA, cash & debt, shares outstanding, notes on valuation Search the SEC EDGAR database for “POWW” (e.g., 10‑Q for Q1 FY2026)
Company Investor Relations page Press release often contains a “Financial Highlights” table with revenue, EBITDA, net income, and sometimes “non‑GAAP earnings” Download the PDF or view the HTML release (often a “financial results” PDF)
Financial data platforms (Yahoo! Finance, Bloomberg, S&P Capital IQ, FactSet, Refinitiv) Current share price, market cap, enterprise value, and calculated multiples Use ticker “POWW”; look under “Statistics” or “Valuation” tabs
Analyst research & equity research reports Comparable company analysis (peer multiples) and a “valuation summary” Access via brokerage platforms (e.g., Bloomberg Terminal) or free reports (e.g., Seeking Alpha)
Industry newsletters / Trade publications (e.g., Gun Business Review, Shooting Sports Business) Qualitative discussion of how OHC’s valuation stacks up vs. peers Search on Google/industry sites for “OHC valuation comparison”

Why the answer can’t be given right now

  • No valuation inputs: The press release excerpt contains no figures for market cap, net income, EBITDA, or even the share price at the time of the release.
  • No competitor data: The news piece does not list any peer‑group multiples for comparison.

Thus, any quantitative answer would be speculative and could violate the “no hallucination” rule. The most responsible approach is to:

  1. Obtain the missing data from the sources listed above.
  2. Calculate OHC’s P/E and EV/EBITDA using the formulas provided.
  3. Gather the same metrics for comparable companies (as outlined) and compare.

Suggested next steps for you

  1. Pull the Q1 FY2026 10‑Q for OHC (Nasdaq: POWW) from the SEC website.
  2. Extract:
    • Net income (or EPS).
    • EBITDA (or EBITDA‑adjusted numbers, if disclosed).
    • Total debt and cash & cash equivalents.
    • Shares outstanding.
    • Closing stock price on the day of the earnings release (or the most recent price).
  3. Compute:
    • Market‑Cap = Share price × Shares outstanding
    • P/E = Share price Ă· EPS (or Market‑Cap Ă· Net Income).
    • EV = Market‑Cap + Total Debt – Cash
    • EV/EBITDA = EV Ă· EBITDA.
  4. Identify peers (e.g., eBay, Etsy, Amazon Marketplace, or any publicly traded firearm/ outdoor‑gear marketplaces) and pull the same metrics from their latest filings.
  5. Create a table:
Company P/E (x) EV/EBITDA (x)
OHC (POWW) ? ?
Peer 1 (e.g., EBAY) ? ?
Peer 2 (e.g., ETSY) ? ?

 
 

  1. Analyze:
    • If OHC’s multiples are higher, the market may be pricing in growth potential or a premium for being the market leader.
    • If lower, investors may be cautious about regulatory risk, concentration risk (single‑asset marketplace), or recent earnings volatility.

Bottom‑line

We cannot provide a direct P/E or EV/EBITDA comparison for OHC versus its competitors based solely on the provided news snippet, because the necessary valuation data are not included.

By pulling the detailed financials from OHC’s SEC filing and obtaining comparable metrics for peer companies (via public filings or financial data platforms), you can compute the required multiples and perform a rigorous valuation comparison. If you need assistance with the specific calculations once you have the raw numbers, feel free to share them and I can walk you through the exact calculations and interpretation.
