## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 9.7×** (5-yr avg 12.0×, 3-yr avg 12.4×). Gold Fields Limited American trades at 9.7× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 12.0×. The Basic Materials median in the September 2026 study was 19.0×. Forward P/E is 8.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.05**. A PEG of 0.05 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.

- **Price / book: 9.4×**. The shares trade at 9.4× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.9×**. Enterprise value is 6.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
