# Springfield Properties Plc (SPR.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Industrials / Construction & Engineering. Price 104p, market value 124 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 9.4×** (5-yr avg 1057.9×, 3-yr avg 1103.1×). Springfield Properties Plc trades at 9.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 1057.9×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 13.0×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.16**. A PEG of 0.16 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **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: 0.7×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 3.2×**. Enterprise value is 3.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 51.1%** (5-yr avg 0.2%). Free cash flow equals 51.1% 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.
- **Earnings yield: 10.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 10.6% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 17.7%**. Springfield Properties Plc keeps 17.7% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 7.8%**. 7.8% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 5.0%**. 5.0% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 8.2%**. 8.2% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 15.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 15.6%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 7.8%**. Each dollar of assets produces 7.8% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 5.3%** (3-yr 3.0%/yr, 5-yr 14.2%/yr). Revenue grew 5.3% over the last year, against 14.2% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 79.7%** (3-yr -7.7%/yr, 5-yr 7.1%/yr). Earnings per share rose 79.7%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 18.2%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 18.2% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.22**. Debt is 0.22 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.6×**. It would take 0.6 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 3.7×**. Operating profit covers interest 3.7× over, a safe margin.
- **Current ratio: 2.76** (quick 0.51). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 2.76 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 3.29**. A Z-score of 3.29 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 1.91%** (0p per share, trailing). Springfield Properties Plc yields 1.91%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Payout ratio: 8%** (2% of free cash flow). 8% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 2**. 2 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 0.0%/yr** (1-yr 100.0%). The dividend has not grown over five years.
- **Shareholder yield: 1.9%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 1.9% of the market value a year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 9.7%** (YTD -19.8%, 3-mo 5.2%). The shares are up 9.7% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -24.2%** (16.6% above the low). Trading 24% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 44**. An RSI of 44 is neutral.
