Gildan Activewear trades at lower valuation multiples than BRP across all three measures in this snapshot. That’s a useful comparison, but it doesn’t tell you which stock is the better investment.
Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL.TO) and BRP Inc. (DOO.TO) are both in the Consumer Discretionary sector and the Consumer Durables & Apparel industry group. In the snapshot dated November 4, 2026, their latest adjusted closes were C$60.44 for Gildan and C$93.81 for BRP. Gildan has the lower P/E, PEG and P/B ratios, while BRP has the higher trailing return on equity. These figures measure different things, so consider them together rather than treating any one as a verdict.
Investor takeaway: Gildan looks cheaper on each of the three supplied multiples: P/E, PEG and P/B. That doesn’t prove Gildan is undervalued, BRP is overpriced or Gildan will deliver better returns. Multiples are only part of the picture, and this snapshot doesn’t explain either company’s growth prospects, risks or current valuation.

Gildan is lower on all three supplied valuation multiples
Gildan’s P/E is 31.0, compared with BRP’s 59.8. Its PEG is 0.33 versus 1.06, and its P/B is 2.39 versus 20.42. These figures show which stock looks cheaper on these measures, but they don’t prove either stock is mispriced.
Bull case
Gildan’s P/E of 31.0, PEG of 0.33 and P/B of 2.39 are all below BRP’s corresponding figures. Gildan also has the higher dividend yield in this snapshot: 1.66% versus 1.07%. These are points of comparison, not a forecast.
Bear case
Lower multiples don’t prove that Gildan is attractively valued or has a stronger business. Its reported trailing ROE is 8.7%, compared with BRP’s 27.2%. The snapshot doesn’t provide enough context to explain the gap.
How the valuation multiples compare
Gildan has the lower figure on all three supplied multiples. Its P/E is 31.0, compared with 59.8 for BRP. Its PEG is 0.33 versus 1.06, and its P/B is 2.39 versus 20.42. By these measures, Gildan looks cheaper in this snapshot. But the ratios don’t capture every factor that affects a company’s value, and they can’t show whether either share price is justified.

Other figures add context
The snapshot puts Gildan’s market capitalization at C$10.5B and BRP’s at C$6.7B. Gildan’s dividend yield is 1.66%, compared with 1.07% for BRP. ROE points the other way: Gildan’s trailing ROE is 8.7%, while BRP’s is 27.2%. These figures add context, but they don’t explain the differences or show which company has stronger future prospects. Both stocks have a Strong Sell analyst consensus label in the supplied table, with a target price of C$0.00 for each. These are snapshot figures, not a complete assessment of either business.
