# American Superconductor Corporation (AMSC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Industrials / Machinery. Price $29.55, market value $1.4 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 9.6×** (5-yr avg 62.2×, 3-yr avg 62.2×). American Superconductor Corporation trades at 9.6× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 62.2×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 21.8×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.01**. A PEG of 0.01 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 4.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 4.5×.
- **Price / book: 2.5×**. The shares trade at 2.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 52.1×**. Enterprise value is 52.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 1.4%** (5-yr avg -4.3%). Free cash flow equals 1.4% of the market value, above its five-year average of -4.3%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
- **Earnings yield: 10.4%**. The inverse of the P/E: 10.4% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 28.6%**. American Superconductor Corporation keeps 28.6% 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: 44.7%**. 44.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 24.1%**. 24.1% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 3.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 3.0%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 18.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces 18.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 34.3%** (3-yr 41.3%/yr, 5-yr 28.0%/yr). Revenue grew 34.3% over the last year, against 28.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 1806.3%**. Earnings per share rose 1806.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.00**. Debt is 0.00 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. American Superconductor Corporation holds more cash than debt.
- **Current ratio: 2.39** (quick 2.39). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 2.39 times.

## Price and momentum

- **From 52-week high: -58.1%** (18.8% above the low). Trading 58% 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): 44**. An RSI of 44 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 3.39** (volatility 81%). Beta of 3.39 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
