## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Lithium Argentina AG 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: 230.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 230.1×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 1.4×**. The shares trade at 1.4× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -1.8%** (5-yr avg -5.6%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: -40.4%**. Lithium Argentina AG keeps -40.4% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.

## Growth

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.00**. Debt is 0.00 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Current ratio: 0.30** (quick 0.30). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
