# DPC Holdings PLC (DPC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Industrials / Machinery. Price $44.88, market value $6.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). DPC Holdings PLC 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.
- **PEG: 4.70**. A PEG of 4.70 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 8.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 8.0×.
- **Price / book: 8.7×**. The shares trade at 8.7× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 162.5×**. Enterprise value is 162.5× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 0.2%**. Free cash flow equals 0.2% of the market value.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 23.1%**. DPC Holdings PLC keeps 23.1% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -0.6%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -20.7%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 17.9%**. 17.9% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on invested capital: -0.9%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -0.9%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -19.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces -19.3% of profit.

- **Interest coverage: -0.0×**. Operating profit covers interest only -0.0×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.84** (quick 0.48). 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: 1.46**. A Z-score of 1.46 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
