# Nexa Resources S.A. (NEXA) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Basic Materials / Mining & Metals. Price $11.43, market value $1.5 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 10.4×** (5-yr avg 10.6×, 3-yr avg 8.8×). Nexa Resources S.A. trades at 10.4× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 10.6×. The Basic Materials median in the September 2026 study was 19.0×. Forward P/E is 3.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.02**. A PEG of 0.02 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: 1.5×**. The shares trade at 1.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 2.5×**. Enterprise value is 2.5× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.9%** (5-yr avg -2.2%). Free cash flow equals 7.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of -2.2%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 9.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 9.6% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 29.5%**. Nexa Resources S.A. keeps 29.5% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 23.1%**. 23.1% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 7.4%**. 7.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 17.3%**. 17.3% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on invested capital: 19.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 19.3%: comfortably above what that capital costs.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 8.5%** (3-yr -0.4%/yr, 5-yr 9.0%/yr). Revenue grew 8.5% over the last year, against 9.0% a year compounded over five years.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 164.5%** (3-yr 38.1%/yr). Earnings per share rose 164.5%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.28**. Debt is 1.28 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 1.1×**. It would take 1.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 3.0×**. Operating profit covers interest 3.0× over, a safe margin.
- **Current ratio: 0.87** (quick 0.87). 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: 1.41**. A Z-score of 1.41 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
