# Princess Private Equity Holding Limited (PEY.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Financial Services. Price €7.36, market value €488 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Princess Private Equity Holding Limited 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: 65.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 65.3×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 0.6×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 9.9%** (5-yr avg 6.5%). Free cash flow equals 9.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of 6.5%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 100.0%**. Princess Private Equity Holding Limited keeps 100.0% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: -92.1%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: 107.8%**. 107.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: -10.1%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -0.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -0.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -9.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces -9.4% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Growth
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -182.3%**. Earnings per share fell 182.3%.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 21.6%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 21.6% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
- **Cash and short-term investments: €8 million**. Leverage ratios are shown differently for banks and insurers, whose balance sheets are built on deposits and reserves; use return on equity and the regulatory capital in the filings instead.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 9.00%** (€0.70 per share, trailing). Princess Private Equity Holding Limited yields 9.00%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 1**. 1 straight year of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 11.5%/yr** (1-yr 5.6%). The dividend has compounded at 11.5% a year over five years, doubling roughly every 6 years at that pace.
