Deckers Brands (DECK)
Forward P/E is 10.16x against a peer median of 7.23x, a ratio of 1.41x — above the fair range — with trailing P/E 10.54x and PEG 1.76. Latest-quarter revenue grew 5.7% year over year (PRIMARY, EDGAR), exactly in line with the group pace and with a PEG above 1.5, so the growth exception does not apply. Delivered demand check: the autos, parts & leisure group's median growth was 5.7% year over year — demand steady, and this company matches that pace.
What would change this label: Move to FAIRLY PRICED if the forward P/E compresses to about 8.31x or below (1.15x the peer median) at unchanged estimates, or if revenue growth rises above 11% year over year for two quarters with the PEG at or below about 1.5. Move further from fair value if revenue growth falls below 0% year over year while the forward multiple stays above 10x.
Deckers sells premium footwear, including boots and running shoes. Its shares trade at about 10 times expected earnings, which sounds low, but the similar companies in its group trade at only about 7 times, and its sales grew 5.7%, the same pace as the group. Against its own group, the price is ahead, so the shares look overvalued.
Both lines start at 100 on 2020-09-01. Over the full window Deckers Brands returned +130.15% and the S&P 500 +118.28% (price returns; dividends not reinvested). Worst peak-to-trough fall for Deckers Brands: -65.3% (2025-01-30 to 2026-09-15). Source: Nasdaq official daily history.

Sales, profit and cash
Gross margin = gross profit divided by sales, from SEC filings.
Free cash flow = cash from operations minus spending on plant and equipment, both from the company’s SEC cash-flow statement. Gaps are quarters where that spending line is not separately tagged in the filings — shown as gaps, never estimated.

The last twelve reported quarters. Full 24-quarter history sits in the data pack behind this page. A dash means the figure is not tagged as a standalone quarter in the company’s SEC facts (the usual case is the fourth quarter, which many companies only report inside the full-year filing) — it is missing, not zero.
Earnings: getting better or worse?
Each box is one quarter’s earnings per share (EPS). Green means EPS was higher than the same quarter a year earlier; red means lower; a dash means the figure is not tagged in the filings.
Basis: GAAP diluted EPS from SEC company facts, compared with the same quarter a year earlier.

What we could not verify
- TTM GAAP diluted EPS could not be summed from company facts because at least one of the last four quarters (typically Q4) has no standalone tagged EPS; trailing P/E is therefore taken from the labelled secondary source in valuation_label.md.
- Own-history P/E range not yet compiled for this company in the Phase 1 batch run; the label rests on peer-median, growth and PEG evidence.
- Guidance record (each quarter scored against the guidance the company gave the quarter before) is not yet compiled for this company — it is a Phase 2 layer. The earnings strip below therefore uses reported EPS versus a year earlier, which is fully sourced from filings.
The IT factor — the most exciting thing the market is overlooking — is not assessed on an X-Ray page. It belongs to the Deep Dive (Phase 2), where it gets the evidence standard it needs. Leadership-era scoring (the six years split by chief executive) is likewise a Phase 2 layer; this page names the current chief executive only, from a sourced profile.
