# Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (GTE.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Energy / Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. Price 700p, market value 248 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Gran Tierra Energy Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.5×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 2.5×**. The shares trade at 2.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 2.6×**. Enterprise value is 2.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 80.6%** (5-yr avg 0.3%). Free cash flow equals 80.6% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.3%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 36.6%**. Gran Tierra Energy Inc. keeps 36.6% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 15.0%**. 15.0% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: -32.4%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -84.4%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 9.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 9.1%.
- **Return on assets: -16.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces -16.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -4.2%** (3-yr -5.7%/yr, 5-yr 20.2%/yr). Revenue fell 4.2% over the last year, against 20.2% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -44.4%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -44.4% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 3.17**. Debt is 3.17 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 1.7×**. It would take 1.7 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 0.8×**. Operating profit covers interest only 0.8×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.60** (quick 0.44). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.56**. A Z-score of 0.56 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

- **From 52-week high: -17.5%** (159.3% above the low). Trading 17% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 65**. An RSI of 65 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): -0.52** (volatility 65%). Beta of -0.52 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move much less than the market.
