# Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. AMEX, United States. Sector: Energy / Oil, Gas & Fuels. Price $10.45, market value $697 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 34.8×** (5-yr avg 4.8×, 3-yr avg 8.9×). Obsidian Energy Ltd. trades at 34.8× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 4.8×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 5.2×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.04**. A PEG of 0.04 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.7×.
- **Price / book: 0.7×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 3.9×**. Enterprise value is 3.9× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -19.0%** (5-yr avg 4.8%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 2.9%**. The inverse of the P/E: 2.9% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 46.0%**. Obsidian Energy Ltd. keeps 46.0% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 20.4%**. 20.4% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 6.5%**. 6.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 2.5%**. 2.5% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.5%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.5%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 1.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces 1.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -35.4%** (3-yr -16.2%/yr, 5-yr 13.5%/yr). Revenue fell 35.4% over the last year, against 13.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 118.4%** (3-yr -62.9%/yr). Earnings per share rose 118.4%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.16**. Debt is 0.16 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.7×**. It would take 0.7 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 4.8×**. Operating profit covers interest 4.8× over, a safe margin.
- **Current ratio: 0.54** (quick 0.54). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.33**. A Z-score of 2.33 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Obsidian Energy Ltd. does not currently pay a dividend, but it returned 3.0% of its market value through buybacks over the last year.

- **From 52-week high: -28.4%** (91.0% above the low). Trading 28% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 37**. An RSI of 37 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.03** (volatility 57%). Beta of 0.03 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
