Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Capital Markets. Price $50.92, market value $1.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 33.1×** (5-yr avg 21.6×, 3-yr avg 28.1×). Donnelley Financial Solutions Inc. Common Stock trades at 33.1× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 21.6×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×. Forward P/E is 9.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 1.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.6×.
- **Price / book: 3.2×**. The shares trade at 3.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.8×**. Enterprise value is 6.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 12.2%** (5-yr avg 6.6%). Free cash flow equals 12.2% of the market value, above its five-year average of 6.6%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 3.0%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.0% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 18.9%**. 18.9% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 4.2%**. 4.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 8.5%**. 8.5% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 22.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 22.1%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 4.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces 4.4% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -1.9%** (3-yr -2.7%/yr, 5-yr -3.0%/yr). Revenue fell 1.9% over the last year, against -3.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -62.4%** (3-yr -28.7%/yr). Earnings per share fell 62.4%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 3.9%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 3.9% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
- **Cash and short-term investments: $25 million**. Leverage ratios are shown differently for banks and insurers, whose balance sheets are built on deposits and reserves; use return on equity and the regulatory capital in the filings instead.
