## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Beazer Homes USA 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.
- **Price / sales: 0.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.4×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.8×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -17.3%** (5-yr avg 6.3%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 12.4%**. Beazer Homes USA Inc. keeps 12.4% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -1.8%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: 1.9%**. 1.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 3.7%**. 3.7% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: -1.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -1.3%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -0.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces -0.3% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 1.8%** (3-yr 0.8%/yr, 5-yr 2.2%/yr). Revenue grew 1.8% over the last year, against 2.2% a year compounded over five years.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -66.4%** (3-yr -40.4%/yr, 5-yr -2.7%/yr). Earnings per share fell 66.4%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -62.5%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -62.5% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
