## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 14.3×** (5-yr avg 5.1×, 3-yr avg 5.1×). abrdn Asia-Pacific Income Fund Inc. trades at 14.3× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 5.1×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×.
- **Price / sales: 13.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 13.2×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 0.9×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 13.7%** (5-yr avg 27.2%). Free cash flow equals 13.7% of the market value, below its five-year average of 27.2%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 7.0%**. The inverse of the P/E: 7.0% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 80.3%**. 80.3% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 5.3%**. 5.3% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -60.7%**. Revenue fell 60.7% over the last year.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -25.9%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -25.9% a year over three years.

## Financial health

- **Dividend growth (5 yr): -0.4%/yr** (1-yr -1.2%). The dividend has not grown over five years.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -0.3%** (YTD 1.9%, 3-mo 3.5%). The shares are down 0.3% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -14.4%** (2.4% above the low). Trading 14% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 45**. An RSI of 45 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.40** (volatility 13%). Beta of 0.40 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
