## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 10.0×** (5-yr avg 4.0×, 3-yr avg 4.0×). AXIA Energia American trades at 10.0× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 4.0×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Utilities median in the September 2026 study was 21.2×. Forward P/E is 11.0×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **Price / sales: 2.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.7×.
- **Price / book: 1.2×**. The shares trade at 1.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 16.1×**. Enterprise value is 16.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 11.5%** (5-yr avg 66.3%). Free cash flow equals 11.5% of the market value, below its five-year average of 66.3%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.

- **Net margin: 15.9%**. 15.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
