# The Rank Group Plc (RNK.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure. Price 96p, market value 448 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 16.0×** (5-yr avg 1552.8×, 3-yr avg 1972.7×). The Rank Group Plc trades at 16.0× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 1552.8×: cheap by its own standards. The Consumer Cyclical median in the September 2026 study was 19.5×. Forward P/E is 8.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.03**. A PEG of 0.03 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.2×**. The shares trade at 1.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 2.5×**. Enterprise value is 2.5× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 28.0%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 28.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 6.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 6.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 43.0%**. The Rank Group Plc keeps 43.0% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 7.0%**. 7.0% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 5.6%**. 5.6% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 11.8%**. 11.8% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on invested capital: 17.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 17.2%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 8.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces 8.4% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 8.3%** (3-yr 7.3%/yr, 5-yr 4.8%/yr). Revenue grew 8.3% over the last year, against 4.8% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 255.8%** (3-yr -7.5%/yr, 5-yr 30.5%/yr). Earnings per share rose 255.8%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -15.9%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -15.9% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.54**. Debt is 0.54 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.6×**. It would take 0.6 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 4.0×**. Operating profit covers interest 4.0× over, a safe margin.
- **Current ratio: 0.48** (quick 0.47). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.47**. A Z-score of 2.47 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 9/9**. 9 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 3.41%** (0p per share, trailing). The Rank Group Plc yields 3.41%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.

- **From 52-week high: -33.3%** (11.9% above the low). Trading 33% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
