# Magnera Corporation (MAGN) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Basic Materials / Paper & Forest Products. Price $12.54, market value $446 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Magnera Corporation 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: 1.01**. A PEG of 1.01 is in the range usually read as fairly priced for its growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.1×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.4×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 8.4×**. Enterprise value is 8.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 25.3%** (5-yr avg 6.0%). Free cash flow equals 25.3% of the market value, above its five-year average of 6.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 1.9%**. 1.9% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -5.0%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -14.9%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 1.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 1.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -2.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces -2.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 46.5%** (3-yr 12.1%/yr, 5-yr 24.2%/yr). Revenue grew 46.5% over the last year, against 24.2% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 7.6%**. Earnings per share rose 7.6%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -40.3%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -40.3% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.83**. Debt is 1.83 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 6.6×**. It would take 6.6 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.27**. A Z-score of 1.27 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Magnera Corporation does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 5.0%** (YTD -17.2%, 3-mo 11.8%). The shares are up 5.0% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -19.2%** (60.4% above the low). Trading 19% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 50**. An RSI of 50 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.22** (volatility 60%). Beta of 1.22 against the S&P 500: the shares move roughly with the market.
