# Travis Perkins plc (TPK.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Industrials / Building Products. Price 605p, market value 1.3 billionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Travis Perkins plc 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: 0.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.1×, 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: 4.3×**. Enterprise value is 4.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 34.3%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 34.3% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 26.0%**. Travis Perkins plc keeps 26.0% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 2.3%**. 2.3% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -3.9%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -9.9%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 9.0%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 9.0%.
- **Return on assets: -6.7%**. Each dollar of assets produces -6.7% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -0.9%** (3-yr -3.0%/yr, 5-yr 4.3%/yr). Revenue fell 0.9% over the last year, against 4.3% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -124.3%**. Earnings per share fell 124.3%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 33.4%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 33.4% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.59**. Debt is 0.59 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 1.4×**. It would take 1.4 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 2.0×**. Operating profit covers interest 2.0×, thin but manageable.
- **Current ratio: 1.72** (quick 1.06). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 1.72 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.55**. A Z-score of 2.55 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.

- **From 52-week high: -16.4%** (22.5% above the low). Trading 16% below 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): 46**. An RSI of 46 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.38** (volatility 36%). Beta of 1.38 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move much more than the market.
