## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 8.3×** (5-yr avg 21.1×, 3-yr avg 7.1×). YPF Sociedad Anonima trades at 8.3× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 21.1×: cheap by its own standards. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 7.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 0.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.8×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.6×**. The shares trade at 1.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 3.3×**. Enterprise value is 3.3× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 29.6%**. Free cash flow equals 29.6% of the market value. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 12.1%**. The inverse of the P/E: 12.1% of the price is earned each year.

- **Interest coverage: 4.7×**. Operating profit covers interest 4.7× over, a safe margin.
- **Current ratio: 0.87** (quick 0.87). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
