## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 26.7×** (5-yr avg 41.5×, 3-yr avg 31.8×). CONMED Corporation trades at 26.7× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 41.5×: cheap by its own standards.

- **Price / sales: 1.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.1×.
- **Price / book: 1.4×**. The shares trade at 1.4× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 10.2%** (5-yr avg 5.0%). Free cash flow equals 10.2% of the market value, above its five-year average of 5.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

- **Net margin: 3.4%**. 3.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
