# Rainbow Rare Earths Limited (RBW.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Basic Materials / Metals & Mining. Price 24p, market value 168 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Rainbow Rare Earths 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 / book: 27.0×**. The shares trade at 27.0× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -3.2%** (5-yr avg -0.1%). 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: -25.0%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -72.4%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -72.4%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -43.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces -43.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 22.4%**. Earnings per share rose 22.4%.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.05**. Debt is 0.05 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.5×**. It would take 0.5 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: -20.1×**. Operating profit covers interest only -20.1×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 2.66** (quick 2.66). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 2.66 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 11.25**. A Z-score of 11.25 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Rainbow Rare Earths Limited does not currently pay a dividend, but it returned 17.9% of its market value through buybacks over the last year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 40.3%** (YTD 36.3%, 3-mo -4.7%). The shares are up 40.3% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -20.0%** (60.0% above the low). Trading 20% 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): 54**. An RSI of 54 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.34** (volatility 62%). Beta of 0.34 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move much less than the market.
