# Montauk Renewables Inc. (MNTK) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Utilities / Multi-Utilities. Price $2.23, market value $317 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 44.6×** (5-yr avg 87.2×, 3-yr avg 101.6×). Montauk Renewables Inc. trades at 44.6× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 87.2×: cheap by its own standards. The Utilities median in the September 2026 study was 21.2×. Forward P/E is 7.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 1.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.7×.
- **Price / book: 1.2×**. The shares trade at 1.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 12.4×**. Enterprise value is 12.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -26.3%** (5-yr avg -7.0%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 2.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 2.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 0.6%**. 0.6% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 1.0%**. 1.0% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 0.7%**. 0.7% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 0.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 0.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 1.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces 1.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 0.4%** (3-yr -6.2%/yr, 5-yr 12.0%/yr). Revenue grew 0.4% over the last year, against 12.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -85.7%** (3-yr -65.8%/yr). Earnings per share fell 85.7%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.49**. Debt is 0.49 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 3.1×**. It would take 3.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.36**. A Z-score of 2.36 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Montauk Renewables Inc. does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 8.3%** (YTD 33.5%, 3-mo 34.3%). The shares are up 8.3% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -13.2%** (108.4% above the low). Trading 13% 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): 72**. An RSI of 72 is in overbought territory; short-term pullbacks are common from here.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.36** (volatility 76%). Beta of 1.36 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
