# Gibson Energy Inc. (GEI.TO) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. TSX, Canada. Sector: Energy / Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. Price C$31.24, market value C$5.4 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 31.2×** (5-yr avg 17.1×, 3-yr avg 18.7×). Gibson Energy Inc. trades at 31.2× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 17.1×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 20.6×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.71**. A PEG of 0.71 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.4×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 5.3×**. The shares trade at 5.3× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 15.0×**. Enterprise value is 15.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 5.6%** (5-yr avg 8.8%). Free cash flow equals 5.6% of the market value, below its five-year average of 8.8%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 3.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 3.8%**. Gibson Energy Inc. keeps 3.8% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 3.0%**. 3.0% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 1.8%**. 1.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 24.1%**. 24.1% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 8.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 8.2%.
- **Return on assets: 3.6%**. Each dollar of assets produces 3.6% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -9.3%** (3-yr -1.1%/yr, 5-yr 16.7%/yr). Revenue fell 9.3% over the last year, against 16.7% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 29.0%** (3-yr -7.2%/yr, 5-yr 7.9%/yr). Earnings per share rose 29.0%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -19.6%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -19.6% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 3.46**. Debt is 3.46 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 5.1×**. It would take 5.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Interest coverage: 2.6×**. Operating profit covers interest 2.6×, thin but manageable.
- **Current ratio: 1.05** (quick 0.84). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.05 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 3.67**. A Z-score of 3.67 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 5.70%** (C$1.76 per share, trailing). Gibson Energy Inc. yields 5.70%, an income-level yield.
- **Payout ratio: 141%** (96% of free cash flow). The dividend exceeds earnings (141% payout), though free cash flow still covers it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 14**. 14 straight years of increases, a record that survived at least one recession.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 4.8%/yr** (1-yr 4.9%). The dividend has grown 4.8% a year over five years.
