## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 74.6×** (5-yr avg 84.3×, 3-yr avg 106.7×). Brookfield Corporation Class A Limited Voting Shares trades at 74.6× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 84.3×. The Consumer Defensive median in the September 2026 study was 20.1×. Forward P/E is 6.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.05**. A PEG of 0.05 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.2×.
- **Price / book: 2.1×**. The shares trade at 2.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 9.8×**. Enterprise value is 9.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -10.5%** (5-yr avg -1.7%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 1.3%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.3% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Operating margin: 23.7%**. 23.7% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 1.7%**. 1.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 2.7%**. 2.7% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.7%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.7%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.

## Financial health

- **Net debt / EBITDA: 7.1×**. It would take 7.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Interest coverage: 1.0×**. Operating profit covers interest only 1.0×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.85** (quick 0.77). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
