# Matrix Service Company (MTRX) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Industrials / Construction & Engineering. Price $10.62, market value $300 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Matrix Service Company 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: 0.17**. A PEG of 0.17 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 2.1×**. The shares trade at 2.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 0.5%** (5-yr avg 2.4%). Free cash flow equals 0.5% of the market value, below its five-year average of 2.4%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 7.3%**. Matrix Service Company keeps 7.3% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -1.1%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -0.3%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -1.8%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 10.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 10.0%.
- **Return on assets: -0.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces -0.4% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 13.6%** (3-yr 3.2%/yr, 5-yr 5.3%/yr). Revenue grew 13.6% over the last year, against 5.3% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 91.5%**. Earnings per share rose 91.5%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 4.8%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 4.8% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.04**. Debt is 0.04 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Current ratio: 0.98** (quick 0.98). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.10**. A Z-score of 2.10 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
