# VNET Group Inc. American (VNET) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Technology / IT Services. Price $6.37, market value $1.8 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). VNET Group Inc. American 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: 0.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.2×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 3.0×**. The shares trade at 3.0× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 0.8×**. Enterprise value is 0.8× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -406.0%** (5-yr avg -4.0%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 20.5%**. VNET Group Inc. American keeps 20.5% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 7.8%**. 7.8% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Return on equity: -4.0%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 381.3%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 381.3%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: -37.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces -37.3% of profit.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.01**. Debt is 0.01 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. VNET Group Inc. American holds more cash than debt.
- **Interest coverage: 1.1×**. Operating profit covers interest only 1.1×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.92** (quick 0.92). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Piotroski F-score: 5/9**. 5 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
