- **PEG: 0.08**. A PEG of 0.08 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 2.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.6×.
- **Price / book: 1.2×**. The shares trade at 1.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 11.2×**. Enterprise value is 11.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -1.3%**. Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
