## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 71.1×** (5-yr avg 56.9×, 3-yr avg 56.9×). Kodiak Gas Services Inc. trades at 71.1× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 56.9×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Healthcare median in the September 2026 study was 28.5×. Forward P/E is 19.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.33**. A PEG of 0.33 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 4.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 4.5×.
- **Price / book: 2.9×**. The shares trade at 2.9× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 13.3×**. Enterprise value is 13.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 0.1%** (5-yr avg 4.1%). Free cash flow equals 0.1% of the market value, below its five-year average of 4.1%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
