# Legence Corp. (LGN) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Industrials / Construction & Engineering. Price $52.97, market value $8.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Legence Corp. 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: 3.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.4×.
- **Price / book: 6.8×**. The shares trade at 6.8× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 57.4×**. Enterprise value is 57.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.5%**. Free cash flow equals 2.5% of the market value.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 21.0%**. Legence Corp. keeps 21.0% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 2.4%**. 2.4% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -2.3%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -15.2%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.9%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.9%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -2.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces -2.2% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 21.5%**. Revenue grew 21.5% over the last year.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 2.11**. Debt is 2.11 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 3.7×**. It would take 3.7 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Current ratio: 1.57** (quick 1.57). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.57 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 4.17**. A Z-score of 4.17 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

- **RSI (14-day): 36**. An RSI of 36 is neutral.
