## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 7.5×** (5-yr avg 18.8×, 3-yr avg 14.6×). Kinross Gold Corporation trades at 7.5× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 18.8×: cheap by its own standards. The Basic Materials median in the September 2026 study was 19.0×. Forward P/E is 7.6×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.05**. A PEG of 0.05 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 2.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.8×.
- **Price / book: 2.4×**. The shares trade at 2.4× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 4.0×**. Enterprise value is 4.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 13.1%** (5-yr avg 7.8%). Free cash flow equals 13.1% of the market value, above its five-year average of 7.8%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
