## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Avis Budget Group 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: 0.49**. A PEG of 0.49 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **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.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: -7.6%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 28.4%**. 28.4% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on assets: -2.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces -2.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -1.2%** (3-yr -1.0%/yr, 5-yr 16.6%/yr). Revenue fell 1.2% over the last year, against 16.6% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 50.7%**. Earnings per share rose 50.7%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health

- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
