# Alight Inc. (ALIT) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Technology / Software. Price $14.92, market value $553 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Alight 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.
- **Price / sales: 0.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.2×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.4×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 45.0%** (5-yr avg 1.5%). Free cash flow equals 45.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 1.5%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 32.1%**. Alight Inc. keeps 32.1% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: -95.7%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -136.9%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -296.6%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -60.7%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -60.7%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -44.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces -44.4% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -3.0%** (3-yr 0.8%/yr, 5-yr -3.7%/yr). Revenue fell 3.0% over the last year, against -3.7% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -1924.1%**. Earnings per share fell 1924.1%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 17.3%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 17.3% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.92**. Debt is 1.92 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. Alight Inc. holds more cash than debt.
- **Altman Z-score: -1.32**. A Z-score of -1.32 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
