## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 6.6×** (5-yr avg 2.7×, 3-yr avg 1.5×). PagSeguro Digital Ltd. Class A trades at 6.6× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 2.7×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 5.2×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.85**. A PEG of 0.85 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.7×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.9×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 5.8×**. Enterprise value is 5.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 28.1%** (5-yr avg 23.1%). Free cash flow equals 28.1% of the market value, above its five-year average of 23.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
