## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). iQIYI Inc. American 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: 0.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.0×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.4×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 1.1×**. Enterprise value is 1.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 21.3%**. Free cash flow equals 21.3% of the market value. Above 5% is generally attractive.

- **Net margin: -0.8%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -1.6%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.

- **Interest coverage: -0.5×**. Operating profit covers interest only -0.5×: fragile.

- **Beta (1 yr): 1.31** (volatility 48%). Beta of 1.31 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
