- **Price / sales: 0.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.7×, 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.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 14.9%** (5-yr avg -0.2%). Free cash flow equals 14.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of -0.2%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
