## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 8.8×** (5-yr avg 109.7×, 3-yr avg 109.7×). Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited American trades at 8.8× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 109.7×: cheap by its own standards.

- **PEG: 0.02**. A PEG of 0.02 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.4×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **EV / EBITDA: 7.0×**. Enterprise value is 7.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Earnings yield: 11.3%**. The inverse of the P/E: 11.3% of the price is earned each year.
