## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 19.1×** (5-yr avg 21.0×, 3-yr avg 21.0×). Tidewater Inc. trades at 19.1× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 21.0×. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 15.7×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **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: 3.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.5×.
- **Price / book: 3.4×**. The shares trade at 3.4× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.

- **Free-cash-flow yield: 5.4%** (5-yr avg 5.5%). Free cash flow equals 5.4% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 5.5%. Above 5% is generally attractive.
