# Custodian REIT Ord (CREI.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Real Estate. Price 84p, market value 411 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 8.4×** (5-yr avg 673.7×, 3-yr avg 835.5×). Custodian REIT Ord trades at 8.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 673.7×: cheap by its own standards. The Real Estate median in the September 2026 study was 25.2×. Forward P/E is 13.1×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.85**. A PEG of 0.85 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 4.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 4.1×.
- **Price / book: 0.8×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 7.6×**. Enterprise value is 7.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 13.7%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 13.7% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 11.9%**. The inverse of the P/E: 11.9% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 86.9%**. Custodian REIT Ord keeps 86.9% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.

- **Net margin: 92.3%**. 92.3% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 9.9%**. 9.9% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 15.5%** (5-yr 62.2%/yr). Earnings per share rose 15.5%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.38**. Debt is 0.38 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.

- **Interest coverage: 5.0×**. Operating profit covers interest 5.0× over, a safe margin.
