# Syntec Optics Holdings Inc. (OPTX) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Diversified Financial Services. Price $7.57, market value $305 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Syntec Optics Holdings Inc. 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: 10.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 10.4×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 10.0×**. The shares trade at 10.0× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -0.1%** (5-yr avg -0.4%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 19.6%**. Syntec Optics Holdings Inc. keeps 19.6% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -4.6%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -6.4%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -18.8%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -8.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -8.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -9.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces -9.9% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -1.3%** (3-yr 0.3%/yr). Revenue fell 1.3% over the last year.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 28.6%**. Earnings per share rose 28.6%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -65.4%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -65.4% a year over three years.

## Financial health

## Price and momentum

- **From 52-week high: -49.3%** (541.5% above the low). Trading 49% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 44**. An RSI of 44 is neutral.
