## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 13.4×** (5-yr avg 9.1×, 3-yr avg 9.1×). Alliancebernstein Global High Income Fund trades at 13.4× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 9.1×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×.
- **Price / sales: 13.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 13.1×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 0.9×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Earnings yield: 7.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 7.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 98.5%**. 98.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 6.7%**. 6.7% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

## Financial health
- **Cash and short-term investments: $446,926**. Leverage ratios are shown differently for banks and insurers, whose balance sheets are built on deposits and reserves; use return on equity and the regulatory capital in the filings instead.
