## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 14.2×** (5-yr avg 155.4×, 3-yr avg 47.2×). Aris Gold Corporation trades at 14.2× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 155.4×: cheap by its own standards. The Basic Materials median in the September 2026 study was 19.0×. Forward P/E is 6.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.03**. A PEG of 0.03 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 3.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.3×.
- **Price / book: 2.3×**. The shares trade at 2.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 7.4×**. Enterprise value is 7.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.5%** (5-yr avg -2.2%). Free cash flow equals 3.5% of the market value, above its five-year average of -2.2%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
