# NB Private Equity Partners Limited (NBPE.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Financial Services. Price 1470p, market value 574 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 23.0×** (5-yr avg 2536.0×, 3-yr avg 3295.8×). NB Private Equity Partners Limited trades at 23.0× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 2536.0×: cheap by its own standards. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×. Forward P/E is 6.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.05**. A PEG of 0.05 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 12.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 12.6×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 0.7×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 17.9%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 17.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 4.4%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.4% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 85.0%**. 85.0% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 3.2%**. 3.2% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on assets: 3.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 3.0% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 67.3%** (3-yr -1.0%/yr, 5-yr -10.1%/yr). Revenue grew 67.3% over the last year, against -10.1% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 138.9%** (5-yr -22.5%/yr). Earnings per share rose 138.9%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
- **Cash and short-term investments: 73 millionp**. Leverage ratios are shown differently for banks and insurers, whose balance sheets are built on deposits and reserves; use return on equity and the regulatory capital in the filings instead.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 4.70%** (1p per share, trailing). NB Private Equity Partners Limited yields 4.70%, an income-level yield.
- **Payout ratio: 111%** (42% of free cash flow). The dividend exceeds earnings (111% payout), though free cash flow still covers it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 5**. 5 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 9.7%/yr** (1-yr 0.0%). The dividend has grown 9.7% a year over five years.
- **Shareholder yield: 15.1%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 15.1% of the market value a year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 2.4%** (YTD -9.1%, 3-mo 0.7%). The shares are up 2.4% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -10.1%** (14.3% above the low). Trading 10% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 46**. An RSI of 46 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.31** (volatility 18%). Beta of 0.31 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move much less than the market.
