# Lightwave Logic Inc. (LWLG) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Basic Materials / Specialty Chemicals. Price $5.35, market value $825 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Lightwave Logic 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: 3295.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3295.9×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 7.9×**. The shares trade at 7.9× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -2.2%** (5-yr avg -3.3%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Return on equity: -27.2%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on assets: -29.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces -29.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 147.7%**. Revenue grew 147.7% over the last year.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 15.8%**. Earnings per share rose 15.8%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Current ratio: 32.69** (quick 32.69). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 32.69 times.
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends

## Price and momentum
