# ADS-TEC ENERGY PLC (ADSE) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Industrials / Electrical Equipment. Price $9.10, market value $684 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). ADS-TEC ENERGY 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: 0.21**. A PEG of 0.21 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 19.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 19.4×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 77.9×**. The shares trade at 77.9× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -6.6%** (5-yr avg -12.6%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: -51.6%**. ADS-TEC ENERGY PLC keeps -51.6% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -177.7%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -174.9%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 510.0%**. A 510.0% return on equity is extremely high; check whether buybacks or debt have shrunk the equity base, which flatters the ratio.
- **Return on invested capital: 579.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 579.3%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: -61.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces -61.2% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -71.3%** (3-yr 6.1%/yr, 5-yr -7.8%/yr). Revenue fell 71.3% over the last year, against -7.8% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 52.2%**. Earnings per share rose 52.2%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. ADS-TEC ENERGY PLC holds more cash than debt.
- **Interest coverage: -1.3×**. Operating profit covers interest only -1.3×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.78** (quick 0.18). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.94**. A Z-score of 1.94 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 2/9**. 2 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. ADS-TEC ENERGY PLC does not currently pay a dividend, but it returned -0.1% of its market value through buybacks over the last year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -13.7%** (YTD -28.2%, 3-mo -22.8%). The shares are down 13.7% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -32.6%** (6.9% above the low). Trading 33% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 39**. An RSI of 39 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.18** (volatility 46%). Beta of 0.18 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
