# Lineage Inc. (LINE) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Real Estate / Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Price $38.17, market value $9.6 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Lineage Inc. 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: 1.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.8×.
- **Price / book: 1.1×**. The shares trade at 1.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 14.0×**. Enterprise value is 14.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.5%** (5-yr avg 1.3%). Free cash flow equals 2.5% of the market value, above its five-year average of 1.3%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 3.6%**. 3.6% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -1.9%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -1.2%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 1.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 1.1%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -0.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces -0.9% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 0.3%** (3-yr 2.8%/yr). Revenue grew 0.3% over the last year.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 88.4%**. Earnings per share rose 88.4%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.74**. Debt is 0.74 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Current ratio: 0.80** (quick 0.80). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.47**. A Z-score of 1.47 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.
