## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 6.1×** (5-yr avg 3.1×, 3-yr avg 3.1×). Nabors Industries Ltd. trades at 6.1× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 3.1×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 21.8×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.12**. A PEG of 0.12 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.
- **Price / book: 2.5×**. The shares trade at 2.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.9%** (5-yr avg 10.7%). Free cash flow equals 2.9% of the market value, below its five-year average of 10.7%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
