Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Energy / Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. Price 6p, market value 115 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 0.9×** (5-yr avg 105.0×, 3-yr avg 16.8×). Savannah Energy PLC trades at 0.9× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 105.0×: cheap by its own standards. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 1.8×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.02**. A PEG of 0.02 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: 0.3×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 1.7×**. Enterprise value is 1.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 32.5%** (5-yr avg 34.6%). Free cash flow equals 32.5% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 34.6%. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 108.9%**. The inverse of the P/E: 108.9% of the price is earned each year.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 106.0%** (3-yr 210.3%/yr). Earnings per share rose 106.0%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -0.7%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -0.7% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
