## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). NextDecade Corporation 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.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -293.1%** (5-yr avg -142.4%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

- **Return on equity: -450.6%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -2.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -2.1%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
