## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Vitesse Energy Inc. 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: 2.6×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.6×.
- **Price / book: 1.2×**. The shares trade at 1.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.

## Profitability

- **Net margin: 9.2%**. 9.2% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 4.0%**. 4.0% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

## Growth

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 0.0%** (3-yr 35.0%/yr). Earnings per share rose 0.0%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Dividends
