## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 37.8×** (5-yr avg 34.6×, 3-yr avg 35.9×). Nova Ltd. trades at 37.8× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 34.6×. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 22.2×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.58**. A PEG of 0.58 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 10.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 10.3×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 6.6×**. The shares trade at 6.6× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 2.0%** (5-yr avg 2.9%). Free cash flow equals 2.0% of the market value, below its five-year average of 2.9%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
