## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 33.5×** (5-yr avg 25.2×, 3-yr avg 27.5×). GlobalFoundries Inc. trades at 33.5× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 25.2×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 16.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.04**. A PEG of 0.04 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 3.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.4×.
- **Price / book: 2.0×**. The shares trade at 2.0× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 10.5×**. Enterprise value is 10.5× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.3%** (5-yr avg 2.5%). Free cash flow equals 3.3% of the market value, above its five-year average of 2.5%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
