# Accsys Technologies PLC (AXS.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Basic Materials / Paper & Forest Products. Price 70p, market value 173 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 35.1×** (5-yr avg 7295.0×, 3-yr avg 2301.9×). Accsys Technologies PLC trades at 35.1× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 7295.0×: cheap by its own standards. The Basic Materials median in the September 2026 study was 19.0×. Forward P/E is 13.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.11**. A PEG of 0.11 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.7×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.9×**. The shares trade at 1.9× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.7×**. Enterprise value is 6.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 8.4%** (5-yr avg -0.0%). Free cash flow equals 8.4% 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: 2.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 2.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 27.6%**. Accsys Technologies PLC keeps 27.6% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 3.8%**. 3.8% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 4.2%**. 4.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 6.1%**. 6.1% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.7%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.7%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -8.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces -8.4% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 11.1%** (3-yr -2.1%/yr, 5-yr 8.8%/yr). Revenue grew 11.1% over the last year, against 8.8% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 126.5%** (5-yr 56.8%/yr). Earnings per share rose 126.5%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.56**. Debt is 0.56 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 1.2×**. It would take 1.2 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 1.0×**. Operating profit covers interest only 1.0×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 2.25** (quick 1.28). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 2.25 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 3.25**. A Z-score of 3.25 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Accsys Technologies PLC does not currently pay a dividend, but it returned -0.1% of its market value through buybacks over the last year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 10.8%** (YTD 16.5%, 3-mo -8.9%). The shares are up 10.8% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -12.1%** (20.8% above the low). Trading 12% below 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): 52**. An RSI of 52 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.38** (volatility 33%). Beta of 0.38 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move much less than the market.
