# Brookfield Business Corporation (BBUC.TO) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. TSX, Canada. Sector: Industrials / Conglomerates. Price C$42.26, market value C$8.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Brookfield Business Corporation reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.1×**. The shares trade at 1.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.4×**. Enterprise value is 6.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 4.6%**. Free cash flow equals 4.6% of the market value.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 19.7%**. Brookfield Business Corporation keeps 19.7% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 15.4%**. 15.4% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 1.4%**. 1.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 2.5%**. 2.5% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 6.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 6.3%.
- **Return on assets: 0.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces 0.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -32.4%** (3-yr -21.8%/yr, 5-yr -6.1%/yr). Revenue fell 32.4% over the last year, against -6.1% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 40.0%**. Earnings per share rose 40.0%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 2.68**. Debt is 2.68 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 5.2×**. It would take 5.2 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Current ratio: 1.67** (quick 1.67). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.67 times.
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends

- **Payout ratio: 27%** (50% of free cash flow). 27% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 4**. 4 straight years of increases.

## Price and momentum

- **From 52-week high: -19.3%** (20.2% above the low). Trading 19% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 65**. An RSI of 65 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.09** (volatility 36%). Beta of 1.09 against the S&P/TSX Composite: the shares move roughly with the market.
