# iHeartMedia Inc. (IHRT) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Communication Services / Media. Price $2.81, market value $434 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). iHeartMedia 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: 0.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.1×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **EV / EBITDA: 15.2×**. Enterprise value is 15.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 8.4%** (5-yr avg 10.8%). Free cash flow equals 8.4% of the market value, below its five-year average of 10.8%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 0.2%**. 0.2% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -12.2%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 25.9%**. 25.9% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 0.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 0.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -5.6%**. Each dollar of assets produces -5.6% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 0.3%** (3-yr -0.4%/yr, 5-yr 5.6%/yr). Revenue grew 0.3% over the last year, against 5.6% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 54.2%**. Earnings per share rose 54.2%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -65.2%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -65.2% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 13.9×**. It would take 13.9 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. iHeartMedia Inc. does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 23.0%** (YTD -32.6%, 3-mo -27.9%). The shares are up 23.0% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -57.2%** (34.9% above the low). Trading 57% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 38**. An RSI of 38 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.89** (volatility 93%). Beta of 1.89 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
