## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Fastly Inc. 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.
- **PEG: 1.21**. A PEG of 1.21 is in the range usually read as fairly priced for its growth.
- **Price / sales: 4.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 4.9×.
- **Price / book: 3.4×**. The shares trade at 3.4× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 1.5%** (5-yr avg -1.3%). Free cash flow equals 1.5% of the market value, above its five-year average of -1.3%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.

## Profitability

- **Net margin: -19.5%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -13.1%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -5.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -5.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -5.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces -5.4% of profit.
