## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). NovoCure Limited 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: 3.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.0×.
- **Price / book: 6.2×**. The shares trade at 6.2× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -1.2%** (5-yr avg -2.6%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 76.1%**. NovoCure Limited keeps 76.1% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: -22.1%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -20.8%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -40.0%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -27.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -27.6%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -18.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces -18.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 8.3%** (3-yr 6.8%/yr, 5-yr 5.8%/yr). Revenue grew 8.3% over the last year, against 5.8% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 21.8%**. Earnings per share rose 21.8%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

- **Altman Z-score: 3.48**. A Z-score of 3.48 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
