# Baytex Energy Corp (BTE) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Defensive / Food & Staples Retailing. Price $4.86, market value $3.4 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Baytex Energy Corp 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: 7.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 7.4×.
- **Price / book: 2.2×**. The shares trade at 2.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 34.4×**. Enterprise value is 34.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 6.5%** (5-yr avg 20.1%). Free cash flow equals 6.5% of the market value, below its five-year average of 20.1%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 28.3%**. Baytex Energy Corp keeps 28.3% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 29.4%**. 29.4% of revenue is left after running the business, an exceptional level.
- **Net margin: -40.8%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -25.3%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 12.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 12.0%.

## Growth

- **EPS growth (1 yr): -369.0%**. Earnings per share fell 369.0%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -27.6%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -27.6% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.05**. Debt is 0.05 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. Baytex Energy Corp holds more cash than debt.
- **Interest coverage: 1.5×**. Operating profit covers interest only 1.5×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 3.61** (quick 3.61). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 3.61 times.

- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 58**. An RSI of 58 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): -0.06** (volatility 46%). Beta of -0.06 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
