- **Price / book: 0.8×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.0×**. Enterprise value is 6.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.7%** (5-yr avg 0.0%). Free cash flow equals 7.7% 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.

- **Net margin: 28.3%**. 28.3% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.

- **Interest coverage: 7.5×**. Operating profit covers interest 7.5× over, a safe margin.
