Electro-Sensors Financial Ratios 2025-2009 | ELSE

Brief overview of Electro-Sensors's market valuation

This overview follows the five latest available observations from 2021 through 2025.

Key multiples at the end of the period are P/E 49.42x (median 49.42x), EV/EBITDA 50.31x (median 57.54x), P/S 1.49x (median 1.62x). Current valuation broadly matches recent historical reference points; the difference from five-year medians is -8.1%.

The inverse P/E implies an earnings yield of 2%. This is not a dividend yield, but current earnings relative to market price.

Current measures of operating quality are ROE 2.1%, ROA 1.9%, ROCE 0%. Low capital returns limit the ability to compound value internally.

Price, earnings and growth produce a PEG of 0.8x. A value below one indicates moderate pricing relative to expected growth.

The cash cycle lengthened by 13.8 days to 180.3 days. Operations require more funding.

Overall assessment

Electro-Sensors's market valuation is near its own historical norm, while quality ratios provide no extreme signal.

Multiples are an important financial analysis tool for the company Electro-Sensors, allowing investors and analysts to quickly assess the company’s value and investment attractiveness based on the ratio of market indicators to the company’s financial performance. Essentially, multiples express how the market values the company relative to its earnings, revenue, equity, or other key metrics.

Advantages of Using Financial Ratios
  • Simplified Data Analysis
    Financial ratios transform large volumes of accounting data into compact and easily interpretable indicators, significantly simplifying the assessment of the company’s condition.
  • Comparability Between Companies
    Multiples standardize financial metrics, enabling objective comparison of companies of different sizes, industries, and market capitalizations.
  • Identification of Trends and Issues
    Regular analysis of ratios helps track the dynamics of financial health, identify strengths and weaknesses of the business, as well as potential risks.
  • Decision Support
    Financial multiples serve as an important tool for investors, creditors, and company management in making investment, credit, and managerial decisions.
  • Accelerated Assessment of Investment Attractiveness
    Ratios allow quick determination of key performance, liquidity, and financial stability indicators, facilitating prompt evaluation of companies’ attractiveness for investments.

Using multiples enables comparison between companies, even if they differ in size or industry, as they standardize financial data into ratios convenient for analysis. This is especially useful for evaluating companies where direct analysis of financial statements may be complex or require in-depth knowledge.
