# Origin Enterprises plc (OGN.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Consumer Defensive / Household Products. Price 383p, market value 414 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 12.0×** (5-yr avg 7.3×, 3-yr avg 7.3×). Origin Enterprises plc trades at 12.0× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 7.3×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Consumer Defensive median in the September 2026 study was 20.1×. Forward P/E is 8.0×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.23**. A PEG of 0.23 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.1×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.2×**. The shares trade at 1.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 3.0×**. Enterprise value is 3.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 11.9%** (5-yr avg 13.5%). Free cash flow equals 11.9% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 13.5%. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 8.4%**. The inverse of the P/E: 8.4% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Operating margin: 3.9%**. 3.9% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 2.5%**. 2.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 34.3%** (3-yr -9.3%/yr, 5-yr 24.0%/yr). Earnings per share rose 34.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -12.9%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -12.9% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.
