Data as of 2026-11-04. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Communication Services / Entertainment. Price 406p, market value 585 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 36.9×** (5-yr avg 1776.4×, 3-yr avg 1776.4×). Everplay Group Plc trades at 36.9× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 1776.4×: cheap by its own standards. The Communication Services median in the September 2026 study was 21.1×. Forward P/E is 12.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.36**. A PEG of 0.36 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 3.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.5×.
- **Price / book: 2.0×**. The shares trade at 2.0× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.0×**. Enterprise value is 8.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -0.7%** (5-yr avg -0.0%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 2.7%**. The inverse of the P/E: 2.7% of the price is earned each year.
