# BioCryst Pharmaceuticals Inc. (BCRX) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Healthcare / Biotechnology. Price $8.57, market value $2.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). BioCryst Pharmaceuticals Inc. 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.
- **PEG: 0.03**. A PEG of 0.03 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 2.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.3×.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 17.0%** (5-yr avg -1.0%). Free cash flow equals 17.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of -1.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: -33.3%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: 30.2%**. 30.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: -221.4%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 118.4%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 118.4%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: -74.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces -74.8% of profit.

## Growth

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 381.4%**. Earnings per share rose 381.4%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.00**. Debt is 0.00 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Current ratio: 2.06** (quick 2.06). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 2.06 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 6.13**. A Z-score of 6.13 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
