The Utilities median in the September 2026 study was 21.2×. Forward P/E is 19.1×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 3.7×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 3.7×.
- **Price / book: 2.6×**. The shares trade at 2.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 14.6×**. Enterprise value is 14.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Earnings yield: 4.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 23.5%**. 23.5% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 15.9%**. 15.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 11.1%**. 11.1% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on invested capital: 5.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 5.6%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): -0.4%** (3-yr 2.6%/yr, 5-yr 4.9%/yr). Earnings per share fell 0.4%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.

## Financial health

- **Net debt / EBITDA: 5.0×**. It would take 5.0 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Current ratio: 0.59** (quick 0.59). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
