## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 15.1×** (5-yr avg 1380.8×, 3-yr avg 1165.3×). Edinburgh Investment Trust Plc trades at 15.1× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 1380.8×: cheap by its own standards. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×.

- **Price / book: 1.1×**. The shares trade at 1.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.9×**. Enterprise value is 6.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 8.8%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 8.8% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability

- **Net margin: 89.7%**. 89.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
