# FMC Corporation (FMC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Basic Materials / Construction Materials. Price $12.97, market value $1.6 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). FMC Corporation 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: 0.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.5×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.0×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 10.1%** (5-yr avg 2.0%). Free cash flow equals 10.1% of the market value, above its five-year average of 2.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 35.3%**. FMC Corporation keeps 35.3% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: -61.9%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -64.6%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -108.1%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -28.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -28.6%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -28.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces -28.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -18.3%** (3-yr -15.8%/yr, 5-yr -5.7%/yr). Revenue fell 18.3% over the last year, against -5.7% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -757.4%**. Earnings per share fell 757.4%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.97**. Debt is 1.97 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. FMC Corporation holds more cash than debt.
- **Piotroski F-score: 2/9**. 2 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
