## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Oatly Group AB American 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: 0.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.5×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -5.7%** (5-yr avg -1.4%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 33.0%**. Oatly Group AB American keeps 33.0% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.

- **Net margin: -17.8%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -778.4%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -35.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -35.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 26.5%**. Earnings per share rose 26.5%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
