# LG Display Co Ltd AMERICAN DEPOSITORY SHARES (LPL) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Technology / Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components. Price $3.30, market value $3.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). LG Display Co Ltd AMERICAN DEPOSITORY SHARES 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.
- **PEG: 0.29**. A PEG of 0.29 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.0×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.0×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 3.4×**. Enterprise value is 3.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 22494.3%**. Free cash flow equals 22494.3% of the market value. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 14.4%**. LG Display Co Ltd AMERICAN DEPOSITORY SHARES keeps 14.4% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 2.5%**. 2.5% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 0.9%**. 0.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 3.4%**. 3.4% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 3.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 3.6%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -5.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces -5.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -3.0%** (3-yr -0.4%/yr). Revenue fell 3.0% over the last year.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 108.3%**. Earnings per share rose 108.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.93**. Debt is 1.93 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 3.4×**. It would take 3.4 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Interest coverage: 1.0×**. Operating profit covers interest only 1.0×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.73** (quick 0.46). 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: 1.25**. A Z-score of 1.25 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 8/9**. 8 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. LG Display Co Ltd AMERICAN DEPOSITORY SHARES does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): -26.3%** (YTD -21.6%, 3-mo -32.1%). The shares are down 26.3% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -43.4%** (19.6% above the low). Trading 43% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 47**. An RSI of 47 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 2.12** (volatility 60%). Beta of 2.12 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
