# Vistry Group PLC (VTY.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Industrials / Construction & Engineering. Price 270p, market value 857 millionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 6.4×** (5-yr avg 1465.0×, 3-yr avg 1853.6×). Vistry Group PLC trades at 6.4× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 1465.0×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 6.0×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.07**. A PEG of 0.07 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 0.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.1×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.3×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 2.2×**. Enterprise value is 2.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 36.5%** (5-yr avg 0.0%). Free cash flow equals 36.5% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 15.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 15.6% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 10.2%**. Vistry Group PLC keeps 10.2% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 3.5%**. 3.5% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 3.8%**. 3.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 4.2%**. 4.2% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.1%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 3.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces 3.3% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -4.4%** (3-yr 9.3%/yr, 5-yr 14.8%/yr). Revenue fell 4.4% over the last year, against 14.8% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 90.9%** (3-yr -21.3%/yr, 5-yr 3.7%/yr). Earnings per share rose 90.9%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 12.7%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 12.7% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.18**. Debt is 0.18 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.5×**. It would take 0.5 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
- **Interest coverage: 1.5×**. Operating profit covers interest 1.5×, thin but manageable.
- **Current ratio: 2.52** (quick 0.65). Current assets cover the next year's liabilities 2.52 times.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.03**. A Z-score of 2.03 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend: none**. Vistry Group PLC does not currently pay a dividend, but it returned 28.3% of its market value through buybacks over the last year.
