# Clarivate Plc (CLVT) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Technology / IT Services. Price $2.07, market value $1.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Clarivate Plc 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: 0.04**. A PEG of 0.04 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.5×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.3×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.1×**. Enterprise value is 8.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 24.7%** (5-yr avg 8.2%). Free cash flow equals 24.7% of the market value, above its five-year average of 8.2%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 6.3%**. 6.3% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: -8.2%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -4.2%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **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: -3.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces -3.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -4.0%** (3-yr -2.6%/yr, 5-yr 14.4%/yr). Revenue fell 4.0% over the last year, against 14.4% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 68.8%**. Earnings per share rose 68.8%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 6.0%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 6.0% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.91**. Debt is 0.91 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 6.1×**. It would take 6.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.98**. A Z-score of 0.98 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

- **From 52-week high: -54.4%** (24.7% above the low). Trading 54% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 51**. An RSI of 51 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.99** (volatility 75%). Beta of 0.99 against the S&P 500: the shares move roughly with the market.
