# Genuit Group plc (GEN.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Industrials / Building Products. Price 265p, market value 668 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 20.4×** (5-yr avg 2561.9×, 3-yr avg 2499.2×). Genuit Group plc trades at 20.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 2561.9×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 10.0×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.26**. A PEG of 0.26 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.6×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.0×**. The shares trade at 1.0× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 4.0×**. Enterprise value is 4.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 22.4%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 22.4% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 4.9%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.9% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Operating margin: 11.9%**. 11.9% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 7.5%**. 7.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 6.8%**. 6.8% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 38.5%** (3-yr 6.3%/yr, 5-yr 16.5%/yr). Earnings per share rose 38.5%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 15.1%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 15.1% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.38**. Debt is 0.38 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 1.0×**. It would take 1.0 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 5.7×**. Operating profit covers interest 5.7× over, a safe margin.
