Genesco Inc maintains a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.01 and a current ratio of 1.64, indicating strong liquidity and short-term financial health [doc:HA-latest]. The company's price-to-book ratio of 0.67 suggests that the market values the company at a discount to its book value, while the price-to-earnings ratio of 28.51 indicates a relatively high valuation compared to earnings [doc:HA-latest]. In terms of profitability, Genesco's return on equity (ROE) of 2.34% and return on assets (ROA) of 0.95% are below the typical thresholds for strong performance in the Apparel & Accessories Retailers industry. These figures suggest that the company is not generating substantial returns relative to its equity and asset base [doc:HA-latest]. The company's revenue is distributed across four reportable segments: Journeys Group, Schuh Group, Johnston & Murphy Group, and Genesco Brands Group. While the input data does not provide specific revenue figures for each segment, the company's geographic exposure is primarily in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom [doc:HA-latest]. Genesco's growth trajectory is reflected in its financial outlook, with the company's current fiscal year (FY) and next FY direction yet to be specified. Analysts have provided a mean price target of $36.00, suggesting a potential upside from the current market price of $34.84 [doc:HA-latest]. The risk assessment for Genesco indicates low liquidity and dilution risks, with no immediate filing-based liquidity or dilution flags detected. The company's low debt levels and strong cash reserves contribute to its favorable risk profile [doc:HA-latest]. Recent events and filings have not indicated any significant changes in the company's financial or operational status. The company's capital expenditure of -$62.05 million suggests a reduction in capital spending, which may reflect a strategic shift or a focus on cost management [doc:HA-latest].
