## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Daily Journal Corp. (S.C.) reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 8.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 8.9×.
- **Price / book: 2.6×**. The shares trade at 2.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 62.4×**. Enterprise value is 62.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.0%** (5-yr avg 1.0%). Free cash flow equals 2.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 1.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.

## Profitability

- **Net margin: 127.9%**. 127.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 28.7%**. 28.7% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 2.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 2.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -2.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces -2.1% of profit.

## Growth

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 43.5%**. Earnings per share rose 43.5%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
