# Quantum Corporation (QMCO) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Technology / Computer Hardware. Price $24.73, market value $975 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Quantum Corporation 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.
- **PEG: 0.46**. A PEG of 0.46 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 3.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.3×.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -2.3%** (5-yr avg -35.2%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 37.8%**. Quantum Corporation keeps 37.8% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: -2.3%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -36.1%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 50.8%**. A 50.8% return on equity is extremely high; check whether buybacks or debt have shrunk the equity base, which flatters the ratio.
- **Return on invested capital: 7.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 7.8%.
- **Return on assets: -152.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces -152.4% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 2.0%** (3-yr -12.8%/yr, 5-yr -4.4%/yr). Revenue grew 2.0% over the last year, against -4.4% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 64.3%**. Earnings per share rose 64.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Altman Z-score: 1.14**. A Z-score of 1.14 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Quantum Corporation does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 244.4%** (YTD 283.4%, 3-mo 94.7%). The shares are up 244.4% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -11.0%** (490.2% above the low). Trading 11% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 65**. An RSI of 65 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 3.30** (volatility 124%). Beta of 3.30 against the S&P 500: the shares move much more than the market.
