# ATS Corporation (ATS) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Industrials / Machinery. Price $19.65, market value $1.9 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 56.1×** (5-yr avg 28.6×, 3-yr avg 27.9×). ATS Corporation trades at 56.1× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 28.6×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 14.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.04**. A PEG of 0.04 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.9×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.5×**. The shares trade at 1.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 11.4×**. Enterprise value is 11.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.7%** (5-yr avg 2.6%). Free cash flow equals 7.7% of the market value, above its five-year average of 2.6%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 1.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 28.0%**. ATS Corporation keeps 28.0% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 6.5%**. 6.5% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 2.4%**. 2.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 4.0%**. 4.0% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.4%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.4%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 1.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces 1.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 17.4%** (3-yr 4.9%/yr). Revenue grew 17.4% over the last year.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 351.7%** (3-yr -19.1%/yr). Earnings per share rose 351.7%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 98.5%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 98.5% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.81**. Debt is 0.81 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 3.5×**. It would take 3.5 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Interest coverage: 2.0×**. Operating profit covers interest 2.0×, thin but manageable.
- **Current ratio: 1.64** (quick 1.36). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.64 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.06**. A Z-score of 2.06 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. ATS Corporation does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -28.3%** (YTD -28.6%, 3-mo -27.0%). The shares are down 28.3% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -45.1%** (6.7% above the low). Trading 45% 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): 39**. An RSI of 39 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.57** (volatility 49%). Beta of 1.57 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
