# Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. Series A Common Stock (WBD) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Communication Services / Entertainment. Price $28.25, market value $70.8 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. Series A Common Stock 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.
- **PEG: 3.80**. A PEG of 3.80 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 2.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.0×.
- **Price / book: 2.2×**. The shares trade at 2.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 26.0×**. Enterprise value is 26.0× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.1%** (5-yr avg 15.4%). Free cash flow equals 3.1% of the market value, below its five-year average of 15.4%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: -3.5%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: 1.9%**. 1.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 2.0%**. 2.0% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: -1.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -1.6%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -3.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces -3.2% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -5.1%** (3-yr 3.3%/yr, 5-yr 28.4%/yr). Revenue fell 5.1% over the last year, against 28.4% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 106.3%** (5-yr -30.7%/yr). Earnings per share rose 106.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -2.4%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -2.4% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.91**. Debt is 0.91 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 7.4×**. It would take 7.4 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.57**. A Z-score of 1.57 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
