Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Basic Materials / Metals & Mining. Price $4.71, market value $498 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Algoma Steel 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: 2.3×**. The shares trade at 2.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -73.4%** (5-yr avg -14.8%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: -47.5%**. Algoma Steel Group Inc. keeps -47.5% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -54.4%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -47.2%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -200.5%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -52.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -52.0%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -52.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces -52.2% of profit.

- **Interest coverage: -9.2×**. Operating profit covers interest only -9.2×: fragile.
