# Primo Brands Corporation (PRMB) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Defensive. Price $22.00, market value $8.0 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 73.3×** (5-yr avg 74.6×, 3-yr avg 74.6×). Primo Brands Corporation trades at 73.3× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 74.6×. The Consumer Defensive median in the September 2026 study was 20.1×. Forward P/E is 14.8×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.04**. A PEG of 0.04 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.2×.
- **Price / book: 2.7×**. The shares trade at 2.7× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 11.6×**. Enterprise value is 11.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 4.6%** (5-yr avg 2.1%). Free cash flow equals 4.6% of the market value, above its five-year average of 2.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
- **Earnings yield: 1.4%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.4% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 29.2%**. Primo Brands Corporation keeps 29.2% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 7.2%**. 7.2% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 0.9%**. 0.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 2.0%**. 2.0% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.9%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.9%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 0.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces 0.9% of profit.

## Financial health

- **Net debt / EBITDA: 4.3×**. It would take 4.3 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.79**. A Z-score of 1.79 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
