## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 98.9×** (5-yr avg 154.0×, 3-yr avg 174.8×). VEON Ltd. trades at 98.9× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 154.0×: cheap by its own standards. The Communication Services median in the September 2026 study was 21.1×. Forward P/E is 9.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.30**. A PEG of 0.30 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.1×.
- **Price / book: 3.6×**. The shares trade at 3.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 3.7×**. Enterprise value is 3.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 4.1%**. Free cash flow equals 4.1% of the market value.
- **Earnings yield: 1.0%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.0% of the price is earned each year.

- **Net margin: 13.4%**. 13.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 36.2%**. 36.2% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.

## Financial health

- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.8×**. It would take 0.8 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
