## 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: 1.3×**. The shares trade at 1.3× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 9.2×**. Enterprise value is 9.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -8.1%** (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: 1.0%**. 1.0% 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: 7.7%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 7.7%.

## Growth

- **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.

- **Current ratio: 1.83** (quick 1.83). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.83 times.
