## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 8.9×** (5-yr avg 866.6×, 3-yr avg 1187.3×). Sylvania Platinum Limited trades at 8.9× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 866.6×: cheap by its own standards. The Basic Materials median in the September 2026 study was 19.0×. Forward P/E is 3.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **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: 1.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.3×.
- **Price / book: 1.1×**. The shares trade at 1.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 3.3×**. Enterprise value is 3.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -0.8%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
