# Lightspeed POS Inc. (LSPD.TO) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. TSX, Canada. Sector: Technology / Software. Price C$14.57, market value C$1.9 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Lightspeed POS 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.
- **PEG: 0.15**. A PEG of 0.15 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.1×.
- **Price / book: 1.0×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 41.7×**. Enterprise value is 41.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.3%** (5-yr avg -1.8%). Free cash flow equals 2.3% of the market value, above its five-year average of -1.8%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 37.0%**. Lightspeed POS Inc. keeps 37.0% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: -8.8%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -11.8%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -9.6%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -10.5%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -10.5%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -5.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces -5.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 12.9%** (3-yr 18.5%/yr, 5-yr 40.5%/yr). Revenue grew 12.9% over the last year, against 40.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 76.3%**. Earnings per share rose 76.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.01**. Debt is 0.01 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. Lightspeed POS Inc. holds more cash than debt.
- **Interest coverage: -83.4×**. Operating profit covers interest only -83.4×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 4.16** (quick 4.07). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 4.16 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 8.27**. A Z-score of 8.27 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
