# Avingtrans plc (AVG.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Industrials / Machinery. Price 732p, market value 270 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 34.8×** (5-yr avg 2621.4×, 3-yr avg 2689.3×). Avingtrans plc trades at 34.8× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 2621.4×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 20.0×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.27**. A PEG of 0.27 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: 2.1×**. The shares trade at 2.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 9.4×**. Enterprise value is 9.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 6.1%** (5-yr avg 0.0%). Free cash flow equals 6.1% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 2.9%**. The inverse of the P/E: 2.9% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Operating margin: 5.2%**. 5.2% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 4.2%**. 4.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 5.8%**. 5.8% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 10.5%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 10.5%.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 72.7%** (3-yr -1.7%/yr, 5-yr 34.5%/yr). Earnings per share rose 72.7%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.23**. Debt is 0.23 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.6×**. It would take 0.6 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 6.9×**. Operating profit covers interest 6.9× over, a safe margin.

## Dividends

- **Payout ratio: 23%** (18% of free cash flow). 23% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 5**. 5 straight years of increases.

- **From 52-week high: -2.5%** (62.6% above the low). Trading within 5% of its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 66**. An RSI of 66 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.34** (volatility 28%). Beta of 0.34 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move much less than the market.
