# Glenveagh Properties PLC (GLV.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Industrials / Construction & Engineering. Price €2.46, market value €1.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 12.3×** (5-yr avg 14.6×, 3-yr avg 11.4×). Glenveagh Properties PLC trades at 12.3× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 14.6×. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 10.7×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.61**. A PEG of 0.61 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.7×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.6×**. The shares trade at 1.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 4.9×**. Enterprise value is 4.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -0.4%** (5-yr avg 6.2%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 8.1%**. The inverse of the P/E: 8.1% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Operating margin: 15.4%**. 15.4% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 11.6%**. 11.6% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 13.6%**. 13.6% on shareholders' equity is solid.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 6.5%** (3-yr 12.8%/yr, 5-yr 31.9%/yr). Revenue grew 6.5% over the last year, against 31.9% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 17.6%** (3-yr 38.4%/yr). Earnings per share rose 17.6%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -9.2%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -9.2% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health

- **RSI (14-day): 56**. An RSI of 56 is neutral.
