# Starz Entertainment Corp. (STRZ) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Communication Services / Entertainment. Price $26.89, market value $460 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Starz Entertainment Corp. 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: 0.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.4×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.5×**. The shares trade at 1.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 13.6%**. Free cash flow equals 13.6% of the market value. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: -31.1%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -15.4%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -27.6%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -21.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -21.3%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
