## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 14.9×** (5-yr avg 27.9×, 3-yr avg 27.9×). Hornbeck Offshore Services Inc. trades at 14.9× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 27.9×: cheap by its own standards. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 11.6×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 1.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.5×.
- **Price / book: 0.2×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 7.4×**. Enterprise value is 7.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 11.5%** (5-yr avg 12.5%). Free cash flow equals 11.5% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 12.5%. Above 5% is generally attractive.

- **Net margin: 2.4%**. 2.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): -41.7%** (5-yr 10.1%/yr). Earnings per share fell 41.7%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
