# SunCoke Energy Inc. (SXC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Basic Materials / Metals & Mining. Price $10.33, market value $877 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). SunCoke Energy Inc. 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: 0.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.5×, 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.
- **EV / EBITDA: 11.3×**. Enterprise value is 11.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.3%** (5-yr avg 17.6%). Free cash flow equals 3.3% of the market value, below its five-year average of 17.6%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: -2.7%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -2.4%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -7.4%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -3.4%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -3.4%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -3.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces -3.1% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -5.1%** (3-yr -2.3%/yr, 5-yr 6.6%/yr). Revenue fell 5.1% over the last year, against 6.6% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -146.4%**. Earnings per share fell 146.4%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -31.8%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -31.8% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.15**. Debt is 1.15 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 4.6×**. It would take 4.6 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.86**. A Z-score of 1.86 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 2/9**. 2 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.

- **Consecutive years of increases: 7**. 7 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 14.9%/yr** (1-yr 9.1%). The dividend has compounded at 14.9% a year over five years, doubling roughly every 5 years at that pace.

## Price and momentum

- **From 52-week high: -3.3%** (87.1% above the low). Trading within 5% of its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 62**. An RSI of 62 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.71** (volatility 45%). Beta of 0.71 against the S&P 500: the shares move roughly with the market.
