## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II 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: 7.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 7.4×.
- **Price / book: 1.0×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 4.3%** (5-yr avg 19.6%). Free cash flow equals 4.3% of the market value, below its five-year average of 19.6%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 99.8%**. 99.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 13.8%**. 13.8% on shareholders' equity is solid.
