# Comstock Resources Inc. (CRK) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Energy / Oil, Gas & Fuels. Price $13.84, market value $4.1 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 7.6×** (5-yr avg 10.3×, 3-yr avg 13.9×). Comstock Resources Inc. trades at 7.6× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 10.3×: cheap by its own standards. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 30.2×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.10**. A PEG of 0.10 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.9×.
- **Price / book: 1.6×**. The shares trade at 1.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 5.5×**. Enterprise value is 5.5× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -18.1%** (5-yr avg -1.1%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 13.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 13.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 28.8%**. 28.8% of revenue is left after running the business, an exceptional level.
- **Net margin: 17.8%**. 17.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 14.9%**. 14.9% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on invested capital: 9.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 9.1%.
- **Return on assets: 7.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces 7.3% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 77.0%** (3-yr -15.1%/yr, 5-yr 20.9%/yr). Revenue grew 77.0% over the last year, against 20.9% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 288.2%** (3-yr -29.7%/yr). Earnings per share rose 288.2%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.06**. Debt is 1.06 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 2.2×**. It would take 2.2 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Current ratio: 0.49** (quick 0.49). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.69**. A Z-score of 1.69 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.
