## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 27.9×**. AEVEX Corp. trades at 27.9× trailing earnings. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 27.7×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 2.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.1×.
- **EV / EBITDA: 28.2×**. Enterprise value is 28.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -11.4%**. Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 3.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.6% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Operating margin: 1.0%**. 1.0% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -0.2%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -0.3%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 2.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 2.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -0.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces -0.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 10.4%**. Revenue grew 10.4% over the last year.

- **Interest coverage: 0.4×**. Operating profit covers interest only 0.4×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 5.47** (quick 5.40). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 5.47 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 3.97**. A Z-score of 3.97 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
