# PureCycle Technologies Inc. (PCT) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Industrials / Construction & Engineering. Price $6.39, market value $1.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). PureCycle Technologies 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: 93.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 93.3×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 83.0×**. The shares trade at 83.0× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -16.5%** (5-yr avg -22.8%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Return on equity: -397.9%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -116.7%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -116.7%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -24.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces -24.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 30.9%**. Earnings per share rose 30.9%.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 5.09**. Debt is 5.09 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Current ratio: 2.26** (quick 2.26). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 2.26 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.92**. A Z-score of 0.92 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends

## Price and momentum

- **From 52-week high: -58.7%** (29.6% above the low). Trading 59% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 42**. An RSI of 42 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 2.31** (volatility 82%). Beta of 2.31 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
