# The Elmet Group Co. (ELMT) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Energy / Energy Equipment & Services. Price $16.78, market value $511 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). The Elmet Group Co. 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: 2.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.3×.
- **Price / book: 2.7×**. The shares trade at 2.7× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 64.2×**. Enterprise value is 64.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -1.8%**. Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 21.7%**. The Elmet Group Co. keeps 21.7% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 0.2%**. 0.2% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -0.9%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -1.1%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 0.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 0.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -0.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces -0.9% of profit.

## Growth
