Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Financial Services / Capital Markets. Price 125p, market value 956 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 5.9×** (5-yr avg 677.2×, 3-yr avg 581.2×). Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Limited trades at 5.9× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 677.2×: cheap by its own standards. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×. Forward P/E is 9.2×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.18**. A PEG of 0.18 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 6.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 6.3×.
- **Price / book: 0.9×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 4.5×**. Enterprise value is 4.5× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -0.3%** (5-yr avg -0.0%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 16.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 16.8% of the price is earned each year.
