# Alaska Air Group Inc. (ALK) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Industrials / Airlines. Price $42.04, market value $4.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Alaska Air Group 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: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.3×**. The shares trade at 1.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 15.9×**. Enterprise value is 15.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: -1.5%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: 0.7%**. 0.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 2.4%**. 2.4% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: -2.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -2.0%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -0.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces -0.9% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 21.3%** (3-yr 13.9%/yr, 5-yr 31.9%/yr). Revenue grew 21.3% over the last year, against 31.9% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -73.1%** (3-yr 22.6%/yr). Earnings per share fell 73.1%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.29**. Debt is 1.29 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 7.9×**. It would take 7.9 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
