Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Healthcare / Pharmaceuticals. Price $7.80, market value $5.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 10.1×** (5-yr avg 60.7×, 3-yr avg 78.0×). Grifols S.A. American trades at 10.1× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 60.7×: cheap by its own standards. The Healthcare median in the September 2026 study was 28.5×. Forward P/E is 5.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.03**. A PEG of 0.03 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: 1.7×**. The shares trade at 1.7× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.4×**. Enterprise value is 8.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 10.7%** (5-yr avg 4.6%). Free cash flow equals 10.7% of the market value, above its five-year average of 4.6%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 9.9%**. The inverse of the P/E: 9.9% of the price is earned each year.

- **Net margin: 5.3%**. 5.3% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
