## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 17.5×** (5-yr avg 37.4×, 3-yr avg 56.8×). Capstone Copper Corp. trades at 17.5× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 37.4×: cheap by its own standards.

- **Price / book: 2.3×**. The shares trade at 2.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 7.1×**. Enterprise value is 7.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 1.6%** (5-yr avg -2.4%). Free cash flow equals 1.6% of the market value, above its five-year average of -2.4%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
