## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 17.4×** (5-yr avg 14.5×, 3-yr avg 14.5×). Valeura Energy Inc. trades at 17.4× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 14.5×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past.

- **Price / sales: 1.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.6×.
- **Price / book: 1.8×**. The shares trade at 1.8× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 2.6×**. Enterprise value is 2.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 11.9%** (5-yr avg -3.5%). Free cash flow equals 11.9% of the market value, above its five-year average of -3.5%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
