## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Albany International Corporation 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.
- **Price / sales: 1.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.4×.
- **Price / book: 2.4×**. The shares trade at 2.4× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 42.4×**. Enterprise value is 42.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.3%** (5-yr avg 4.1%). Free cash flow equals 3.3% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 4.1%.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 21.1%**. Albany International Corporation keeps 21.1% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -2.4%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -4.8%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -7.9%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -2.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -2.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -3.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces -3.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -3.9%** (3-yr 4.6%/yr, 5-yr 5.6%/yr). Revenue fell 3.9% over the last year, against 5.6% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -169.3%**. Earnings per share fell 169.3%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 33.8%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 33.8% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.63**. Debt is 0.63 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 6.9×**. It would take 6.9 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.29**. A Z-score of 2.29 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 50**. An RSI of 50 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.04** (volatility 40%). Beta of 1.04 against the S&P 500: the shares move roughly with the market.
