# Nexgen Energy Ltd. (NXE) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Basic Materials / Metals & Mining. Price $10.73, market value $7.2 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Nexgen Energy Ltd. 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 / book: 5.4×**. The shares trade at 5.4× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -2.4%** (5-yr avg -2.9%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Return on equity: -16.9%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -6.9%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -6.9%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -12.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces -12.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -278.6%**. Earnings per share fell 278.6%.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.32**. Debt is 0.32 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 2.2×**. It would take 2.2 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: -1.9×**. Operating profit covers interest only -1.9×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 1.82** (quick 1.82). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.82 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 7.90**. A Z-score of 7.90 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.
