# Mincon Group plc (MCON.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Industrials / Building Products. Price 72p, market value 153 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 18.0×** (5-yr avg 1761.2×, 3-yr avg 1934.5×). Mincon Group plc trades at 18.0× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 1761.2×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 18.6×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.31**. A PEG of 0.31 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.6×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.2×**. The shares trade at 1.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.1×**. Enterprise value is 6.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 5.5%** (5-yr avg 0.0%). Free cash flow equals 5.5% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 5.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 5.6% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 28.9%**. Mincon Group plc keeps 28.9% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 6.4%**. 6.4% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 3.7%**. 3.7% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 3.7%**. 3.7% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 3.0%** (3-yr -4.4%/yr, 5-yr 2.7%/yr). Revenue grew 3.0% over the last year, against 2.7% a year compounded over five years.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 59.9%** (3-yr -28.8%/yr, 5-yr -17.5%/yr). Earnings per share rose 59.9%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 162.0%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 162.0% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.23**. Debt is 0.23 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.7×**. It would take 0.7 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 4.2×**. Operating profit covers interest 4.2× over, a safe margin.
- **Current ratio: 3.32** (quick 1.33). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 3.32 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 3.93**. A Z-score of 3.93 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 2.63%** (0p per share, trailing). Mincon Group plc yields 2.63%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Payout ratio: 81%** (86% of free cash flow). 81% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving a thin cushion.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 3**. 3 straight years of increases.

- **From 52-week high: -0.8%** (105.7% above the low). Trading within 5% of its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
