# PowerFleet Inc. (AIOT) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Communication Services / Diversified Telecommunication Services. Price $3.02, market value $405 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). PowerFleet Inc. 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: 0.18**. A PEG of 0.18 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.9×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.8×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 7.3×**. Enterprise value is 7.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.9%**. Free cash flow equals 3.9% of the market value.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 55.7%**. PowerFleet Inc. keeps 55.7% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 4.9%**. 4.9% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -4.6%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -4.3%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 2.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 2.6%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -2.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces -2.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 22.4%** (3-yr 48.4%/yr, 5-yr 31.3%/yr). Revenue grew 22.4% over the last year, against 31.3% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 65.1%**. Earnings per share rose 65.1%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.50**. Debt is 0.50 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 2.4×**. It would take 2.4 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.74**. A Z-score of 1.74 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. PowerFleet Inc. does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -32.4%** (YTD -43.2%, 3-mo -21.4%). The shares are down 32.4% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -48.6%** (8.6% above the low). Trading 49% 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): 41**. An RSI of 41 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 2.28** (volatility 66%). Beta of 2.28 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
