Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Energy / Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. Price $97.91, market value $22.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 8.4×** (5-yr avg 7.1×, 3-yr avg 9.3×). Expand Energy Corporation trades at 8.4× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 7.1×. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 11.2×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.04**. A PEG of 0.04 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.7×.
- **Price / book: 1.2×**. The shares trade at 1.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 4.1×**. Enterprise value is 4.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 11.8%** (5-yr avg 7.8%). Free cash flow equals 11.8% of the market value, above its five-year average of 7.8%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 11.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 11.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 27.4%**. 27.4% of revenue is left after running the business, an exceptional level.
- **Net margin: 15.0%**. 15.0% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 9.8%**. 9.8% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 12.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 12.8%.
- **Return on assets: 9.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces 9.8% of profit.

## Growth

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 266.4%** (3-yr -39.0%/yr). Earnings per share rose 266.4%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -7.2%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -7.2% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.27**. Debt is 0.27 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.7×**. It would take 0.7 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
