Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Basic Materials / Chemicals. Price $8.50, market value $575 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Rayonier Advanced Materials 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: 0.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.4×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 3.0×**. The shares trade at 3.0× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.1×**. Enterprise value is 6.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 5.9%**. Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. keeps 5.9% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.

- **Net margin: -28.7%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -132.9%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
