JILL
J.Jill, Inc. (JILL) 10Y Growth Potential Analysis (2026)
Overall Score
Growth Durability
Revenue growth is not provided, but the business still shows acceptable profitability with a 6.7% EBIT margin and 10.3% EBITDA margin.
Return on invested capital is 8.0%, suggesting the company can compound capital at a modest rate.
The company’s asset turnover of 1.34x indicates decent operating efficiency for a retail/apparel model.
Financial Strength
Liquidity is adequate with a current ratio of 1.14 and cash ratio of 0.31.
Leverage remains meaningful at 3.0x net debt to EBITDA and 1.76x debt to equity, which limits balance-sheet flexibility.
Interest coverage of 4.3x and debt service coverage of 4.6x suggest the company can currently service obligations.
Profitability
Gross margin is strong at 67.8%, supporting the brand’s pricing power.
Net margin is only 3.6%, indicating that operating costs and financing expenses still absorb most of the gross profit.
Return on equity of 16.8% and return on assets of 4.8% point to respectable but not exceptional profitability.
Valuation
Valuation appears reasonable with an EV/sales multiple of 0.70x and EV/EBITDA of 6.9x.
Free cash flow yield of 8.4% and earnings yield of 6.9% provide some support for the current share price.
Price-to-free-cash-flow of 11.9x suggests the stock is not deeply cheap, but it is not demanding either.
Shareholder Returns
The company pays a dividend yield of 1.7%, offering some direct return to shareholders.
Dividend payout ratio of 23.8% leaves room for reinvestment and balance-sheet repair.
Capital allocation looks balanced, but leverage keeps flexibility constrained.
