# Ryerson Holding Corporation (RYZ) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Energy / Energy Equipment & Services. Price $26.31, market value $1.4 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Ryerson Holding 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.
- **Price / sales: 0.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.2×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.1×**. The shares trade at 1.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 11.7×**. Enterprise value is 11.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -8.5%** (5-yr avg 15.7%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 17.3%**. Ryerson Holding Corporation keeps 17.3% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 0.3%**. 0.3% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -1.2%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -7.5%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 2.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 2.0%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -1.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces -1.4% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -0.6%** (3-yr -10.3%/yr, 5-yr 5.7%/yr). Revenue fell 0.6% over the last year, against 5.7% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -576.9%**. Earnings per share fell 576.9%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -55.2%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -55.2% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.00**. Debt is 0.00 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. Ryerson Holding Corporation holds more cash than debt.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.80**. A Z-score of 2.80 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 2.85%** ($0.75 per share, trailing). Ryerson Holding Corporation yields 2.85%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 16.3%** (YTD 5.3%, 3-mo -3.1%). The shares are up 16.3% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -17.8%** (36.0% above the low). Trading 18% 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): 49**. An RSI of 49 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.19** (volatility 50%). Beta of 1.19 against the S&P 500: the shares move roughly with the market.
