# Reading International Inc (RDIB) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Communication Services / Entertainment. Price $14.99, market value $343 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Reading International 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: 1.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.6×.
- **EV / EBITDA: 36.0×**. Enterprise value is 36.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 0.9%** (5-yr avg -4.9%). Free cash flow equals 0.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of -4.9%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 1.2%**. 1.2% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -7.0%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: 77.5%**. A 77.5% return on equity is extremely high; check whether buybacks or debt have shrunk the equity base, which flatters the ratio.
- **Return on invested capital: 1.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 1.0%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -2.9%**. Each dollar of assets produces -2.9% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -3.6%** (3-yr -0.0%/yr, 5-yr 21.1%/yr). Revenue fell 3.6% over the last year, against 21.1% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 60.8%**. Earnings per share rose 60.8%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 13.7×**. It would take 13.7 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.82**. A Z-score of 0.82 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Reading International Inc does not currently pay a dividend.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 22.9%** (YTD 29.2%, 3-mo 74.3%). The shares are up 22.9% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -37.5%** (87.4% above the low). Trading 38% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 60**. An RSI of 60 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.51** (volatility 104%). Beta of 0.51 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
