Designer Brands has a market capitalization of USD 307.8 million and a trailing P/E ratio of 21.45 as of October 20, 2026. Its NYSE 52-week range runs from USD 3.29 to USD 9.17, placing the current USD 6.02 quote 34.28 percent below the high.

For comparison, Skechers U.S.A. had a USD 9.5 billion market capitalization and a P/E ratio of 15.18, while Caleres had a USD 447.0 million market capitalization and a P/E ratio of 8.04. The figures put Designer Brands between the two peers by size, but above both valuation multiples.
