# NovoCure Limited (NVCR) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Healthcare / Medical Devices & Supplies. Price $13.43, market value $1.6 billion.

## 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: 2.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.2×.
- **Price / book: 4.3×**. The shares trade at 4.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -1.6%** (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: 77.0%**. NovoCure Limited keeps 77.0% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.

- **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: -22.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -22.3%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -15.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces -15.1% of profit.

## Growth

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 21.8%**. Earnings per share rose 21.8%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
