Century Aluminum Company Financial Ratios 2025-2008 | CENX
Brief overview of Century Aluminum Company's market valuation
The comparison uses the five latest available annual observations between 2011 and 2025.
The valuation comparison uses P/E 123.66x (median 40.63x), EV/EBITDA 19.26x (median 13.77x), P/S 1.96x (median 0.75x). The current ratio basket stands about 161.1% above the five-year base, increasing sensitivity to weak reports.
At the current P/E, inverse earnings yield is 0.8%, a useful bridge between price and business earnings.
End-period return metrics are ROE 5%, ROA 1.8%, ROCE 9.8%. Business quality is below comfortable levels on current returns. Better margins or turnover are needed.
On PEG (0.12x), valuation is restrained relative to growth, but one ratio cannot replace cash-flow and risk analysis.
The cash conversion cycle lengthened from 47.9 days to 68.4 days, or 20.5 days. More cash is tied up in operations.
Valuation takeaway
Century Aluminum Company's multiples are demanding relative to current business quality. Material improvement is needed to justify them.
