The company currently exhibits a P/E ratio of 28, alongside a price-to-book value of 1.34. Its enterprise value to EBITDA stands at 4.44, while the EV to EBIT is recorded at 10.11. Notably, Walker & Dunlop boasts a robust dividend yield of 379.12% and a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 14.36%.

Despite recent performance challenges, including a year-to-date return of -16.41% compared to the S&P 500's 13.30%, the company's financial indicators suggest a complex landscape in which it operates. The evaluation revision highlights the need for ongoing scrutiny of market trends and peer performance.
