# POET Technologies Inc. (POET) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Technology / Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment. Price $7.92, market value $1.4 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). POET 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: 800.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 800.2×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 1.6×**. The shares trade at 1.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -3.0%** (5-yr avg -15.3%). 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: -34.3%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -25.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -25.2%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -23.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces -23.0% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 2494.6%** (3-yr 24.8%/yr). Revenue grew 2494.6% over the last year.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 27.7%**. Earnings per share rose 27.7%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.00**. Debt is 0.00 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.6×**. It would take 0.6 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: -236.1×**. Operating profit covers interest only -236.1×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 2.19** (quick 2.19). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 2.19 times.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
