Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Auto Components. Price 816p, market value 187 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). AB Dynamics plc reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **PEG: 0.53**. A PEG of 0.53 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.8×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.5×**. The shares trade at 1.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 4.6×**. Enterprise value is 4.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 20.1%** (5-yr avg 0.0%). Free cash flow equals 20.1% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 56.4%**. AB Dynamics plc keeps 56.4% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 5.1%**. 5.1% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 10.5%**. 10.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 8.6%**. 8.6% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 23.8%** (3-yr 35.3%/yr, 5-yr 23.6%/yr). Earnings per share rose 23.8%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 15.3%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 15.3% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.
