# Shenandoah Telecommunications Co (SHEN) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Communication Services / Fixed & Integrated Telecom. Price $10.00, market value $554 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Shenandoah Telecommunications Co 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: 1.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.5×.
- **Price / book: 0.7×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 10.0×**. Enterprise value is 10.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -39.2%** (5-yr avg -27.9%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: -3.9%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -9.2%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -3.7%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -0.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -0.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 9.1%** (3-yr 12.9%/yr, 5-yr 10.1%/yr). Revenue grew 9.1% over the last year, against 10.1% a year compounded over five years.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -120.1%**. Earnings per share fell 120.1%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.71**. Debt is 0.71 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 5.2×**. It would take 5.2 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Current ratio: 0.90** (quick 0.90). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 1.20%** ($0.11 per share, trailing). Shenandoah Telecommunications Co yields 1.20%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 3**. 3 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): -20.2%/yr** (1-yr 10.0%). The dividend has not grown over five years.

- **From 52-week high: -42.4%** (9.5% above the low). Trading 42% below its 52-week high, deep in a drawdown.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 41**. An RSI of 41 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.44** (volatility 41%). Beta of 0.44 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
