# GREENCOAT UK WIND PLC (UKW.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Utilities. Price 110p, market value 2.4 billionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). GREENCOAT UK WIND 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: 5.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 5.2×.
- **Price / book: 0.8×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 27.6%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 27.6% 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: 87.1%**. GREENCOAT UK WIND PLC keeps 87.1% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: -6.1%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -48.1%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -6.7%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -0.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -0.6%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -5.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces -5.3% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 1289.9%** (3-yr -11.6%/yr, 5-yr 27.5%/yr). Revenue grew 1289.9% over the last year, against 27.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -258.4%**. Earnings per share fell 258.4%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -20.5%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -20.5% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.60**. Debt is 0.60 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. GREENCOAT UK WIND PLC holds more cash than debt.
- **Interest coverage: -0.8×**. Operating profit covers interest only -0.8×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.20** (quick 0.20). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.66**. A Z-score of 1.66 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. GREENCOAT UK WIND PLC does not currently pay a dividend, but it returned 8.0% of its market value through buybacks over the last year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 1.4%** (YTD 12.6%, 3-mo 9.1%). The shares are up 1.4% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -5.6%** (19.8% above the low). Trading 6% 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): 53**. An RSI of 53 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.23** (volatility 21%). Beta of 0.23 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move much less than the market.
