# Empire Metals Limited (EEE.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Basic Materials / Metals & Mining. Price 40p, market value 293 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Empire Metals Limited 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 / book: 12.8×**. The shares trade at 12.8× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -1.6%** (5-yr avg -0.2%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Return on equity: -20.7%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -83.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -83.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -39.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces -39.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 22.4%**. Earnings per share rose 22.4%.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.00**. Debt is 0.00 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 1.3×**. It would take 1.3 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Current ratio: 15.45** (quick 15.45). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 15.45 times.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Empire Metals Limited does not currently pay a dividend, but it returned -5.9% of its market value through buybacks over the last year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -42.2%** (YTD 2.3%, 3-mo 18.8%). The shares are down 42.2% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -51.5%** (55.1% above the low). Trading 52% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 43**. An RSI of 43 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.96** (volatility 90%). Beta of 0.96 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move roughly with the market.
