## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). NETGEAR Inc. 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.
- **Price / sales: 0.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.8×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.3×**. The shares trade at 1.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -3.0%** (5-yr avg 4.6%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
