# Virtu Financial Inc. (VIRT) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NYSE, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Capital Markets. Price $53.23, market value $4.7 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 8.8×** (5-yr avg 9.0×, 3-yr avg 10.4×). Virtu Financial Inc. trades at 8.8× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 9.0×. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×. Forward P/E is 7.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.10**. A PEG of 0.10 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 6.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 6.9×.
- **Price / book: 2.5×**. The shares trade at 2.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 11.1%** (5-yr avg 27.7%). Free cash flow equals 11.1% of the market value, below its five-year average of 27.7%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 11.3%**. The inverse of the P/E: 11.3% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 75.9%**. 75.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 29.6%**. 29.6% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on assets: 2.7%**. Each dollar of assets produces 2.7% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 19.4%** (3-yr 5.2%/yr, 5-yr 0.5%/yr). Revenue grew 19.4% over the last year, against 0.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 72.7%** (3-yr 28.1%/yr, 5-yr -0.1%/yr). Earnings per share rose 72.7%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -10.0%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -10.0% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
- **Cash and short-term investments: $1.1 billion**. Leverage ratios are shown differently for banks and insurers, whose balance sheets are built on deposits and reserves; use return on equity and the regulatory capital in the filings instead.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 1.80%** ($0.96 per share, trailing). Virtu Financial Inc. yields 1.80%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 11**. 11 straight years of increases, a record that survived at least one recession.

- **From 52-week high: -22.6%** (68.7% above the low). Trading 23% 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): 38**. An RSI of 38 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.43** (volatility 37%). Beta of 0.43 against the S&P 500: the shares move much less than the market.
